Expert Answer

Frantic running and screeching in a hamster is usually from tension, fear, or pain. Check its body for wounds; if found, clean and treat them. Serious wounds need simple care first, then a prompt vet visit.

If no wounds are found, give it a quiet environment with suitable temperature and let it rest undisturbed. If the condition does not improve, take it to a vet for examination and treatment.
