Is there a way to see if your hammy is blind?

Is there a way to see if your hammy is blind
Answers:
they have poor eyesight anyway. so whats the point really?
shine a dull flashlight in its eyes, if it doesnt react, it is blind. DO NOT BLIND IT WITH THE LIGHT. only hold it there momentarily, and make sure it is quick, and the light is dull.
hamster have very poor eye sight to begin with. I can't think of a way to test to see. Maybe run your hand quickly by it. Just my 2 cents
maybe try putting your hand over it and if it doesnt run then idk..
you can tell if your hamster itches they eyes alot and has stuff coming out of it like pink or red sutff then get the to the vet


hope this helps!!
Hamsters already have poor eyesight, so if it is blind, it really wouldn't hurt it.
Hamsters go off of smell, feel and hearing more than eyesight. If your hammie isn't blind, shinning a bright light into it's eyes might actually damage what little eyesight the hammie has.
