Does anyone know about hamsters? *updated*

Oh, poor you, you probably feel worse than the kids, hopefully kids are fairly resilient and will remember the little chap fondly.

My kids are coping extremely well with losing their nan in december, it has affected them a lot but they seem young enough to be protected from the full pain that we feel.

their take on it is that Grandad will now have a pet hamster in heaven to play with.

The cage is now fully cleaned out and ready to be put in the loft, Gemma and Ryan want a new hamster to replace him so that shows to me they are not effected as badly as I thought they would be.

Only one mindee maybe effected but I've text Mum a text .. the otrher all prefer the older hamster he just sits and doesnt mind being passed around but the one mindee loved Rocket he was naughty and fast which matched the mindees character too.

sighs oh well now I have space on the unit again for a bit!

My daughters hamster died on Christmas Eve morning IYSWIM (a few years ago now) she had bought him a pressie We buried him in a christmas card box with pressie She was inconsoleable. Lucky it was Christmas next day, cos Gizmo was forgotten

Rocket is gone, he fell asleep at the bottom of his cage last night but was still breathing.

My kiddies are fine, both understand and were aware that he was poorly. I've blubbered and feel so ill knowing I should have found emergancy help last night.

But atleast now he isnt in pain. Now to wait for the animal fairies. We will have a memorial after breakfast, I'm making a memorial image with something like thankyou for taking care of me, with love from Rocket or somethin like that.

Im sorry i was the bearer of bad news last night but thought he may go during the night and wanted to prepare you.

Please dont feel bad believe me there is nothing the vets could have done for him, you did all you could and made him confortable. It is a terrible time when they go i was soooo upset as they are lovely little things and you get very attached but some dont live that long at all mine was only 9 months old we he went. (we also lost another one 6 months ago how we loved very much too)
Hope you are all ok, you did all you could.
Sending love and hugs to you all.
