BAHAHA. I've loaded this forum with hamster posts

My hamster's ear is bent back, and there seems to be a small tear at the top. There is no blood, and she is still eating and drinking, and is still active at night. Overall she seems fine, but I noticed the ear last night before I went to bed when I was saying goodnight to her. It is her right ear, the left one is fine. :]

And your point is ?

...

I'm asking if there's anything wrong with her or if there's nothing to worry about

Sweetie there is nothing to worry about. I don't know why it is, or what causes it, but many hamsters have this. Flower didn't, but a couple of the hamsters we had later did. Nothing to worry about.

You just take care of your little one and love him/her like you are.

Yeah, small animals get these sort of issues all the time - don't worry, its pretty much garunteed not to affect her in anyway

I've read about this in hamster books it is due to fighting even if its never met another hamster when its in the pet store they tend to fight don't worry just leeve it there's nothing wrong with it but it is due to fighting and has healed well don't worry!

My answer stemmed from not knowing just what was required seeing as it was a very small animal. I can't relate to 'very small' and can never understand why people have them. I will be more understanding next time, I am sure. Please forgive the insensitivity.
