Hi there, and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Hamsters are very good at squirming out of our grasp, and can easily end up on the floor. Luckily, they usually are not much worse for the wear, as long as they don't hit anything on the way down. If Rosie is walking around and acting normally (eating and drinking, not limping or squeaking), she's probably fine. If anything changes, a vet visit is in order. Good luck, and I hope Rosie does well!
