Expert Answer

With prompt treatment a hypothermic hamster usually fully recovers in 1 to 2 days. Treatment focuses on warming, replenishing fluids and energy, and boosting resistance. When the hamster is frozen and motionless, wrap it in a towel at once and warm it with a heater or hot-water bottle. Also give warm glucose and nutrient water to restore energy and body temperature quickly.
