Is my hamster ok?

hi, i am very worried about my little hammy. ok, i have dropped it twice from about 4 ft onto soft carpet, and once, i forgot to close something so it got out of its cage. so i had to chase it, but i have only had her for 2 days. but wen i picked her up to put her back, she squeled. i am really worried about her. all i want is for her to still like me. do u think she will still like me after all that? please, i really love teddy and i want her to become tame and love me. i feel VERY sorry for her.

Jam a thermometer up his anus,check the little fellers temp.
she was probably just traumatized and needed to be alone. i'd recommend just leaving her alone for a while then once you do go to get her out of her cage be very gentle.
I have hamsters of my own. About three or four years of experience. Trust me, it's going to be okay. You need to give her some time.a few days or even a week to steadily adjust to her new home. They're still very delicate and can get easily frightened. I know that when I brought home my Oreo, she was very scared. She ran across our table leaving "presents" everywhere and cried when we went near her. Today, we're the best of friends and things couldn't possibly be any better. Just give her some time to herself and then gradually introduce yourself to her. Let her know there can be trust established between the two of you. Once that's accomplished, you'll be okay. :)
first you should go to a vet to see if anything is broken if not
then go back home and play with her and give her treats when to hold her be sitting down you should not drop her again she with get used to you again and be gentle if she does not want to come out of the cage give her the treats once a day in the cage till she wants to come out
The best thing that you can do right now, is not to pick her up for a few days. In a few days, you can carefully pick up your hamster. Try to keep your hamster low to the ground and keep a box under you. that way, if you drop your hamster, then, he won't get hurt, and he won't be able to run away since he will be in a box! I hope that this answers your question! Thanks, and good luck,

Let her be for a few hours then give her a treat if she is walking good then their is really nothing to worry about
just get better a handling her. if she does not act like herself, then take her to the vet
You should but more careful and gentle.most mice squeak when you pick them up because your squeezing them.
