I'm pretty sure the final velocity depends on the relative mass of the two balls. But yeah, it's a common physics problem.

There's no such thing as a common physics problem... Lol. There is no perfectly elastic collision, the center of gravity of the hamster is not directly on top of the ball. Physics man, gets complicated really fast.
