Pretty sure the Hamster would be fine, didn’t Kurzgesagt have a video on this kinda stuff where they tossed a mouse of a skyscraper but due to the mass and size of the mouse it doesn’t reach a speed in which it dies on impact?
i had a hamster when i was a kid it was put inside a glass aquarium. my lil bro took it to our granma house couple blocks away. idk how but he lost his grip and fell to the ground. the tank glass shattered and the hamster died on the spot. im sure its not a height thing and more of a shock and stress thing
The US military has been collecting all the munitions grade hamster due to a shortage of depleted uranium.
You can drop a mouse down a mineshaft and it can survive the landing, but a skyscraper has cross winds, which could easily get it moving laterally too fast to survive. A hamster is considerably larger than a mouse though, and just because a mouse could survive doesnt mean a hamster would.
Hamsters will die from looking at them wrong. I also know three childhood friends who had hamsters that died from it just walking off the bed
They are very fragile
Hamsters are way heavier, around 150g, unless we’re talking pups or dwarf breeds. That’s around 6 - 10 times the weight of a mouse.
And they are a more compact shape with stubby legs and tails, which I imagine has negative implications for terminal velocity.
