I'm so sorry for the loss of Cinnamon. Little pets play a big part in their people's lives and leave large holes when they cross the Rainbow Bridge. May Cinnamon rest well and may you find your ways to adjust to his absence

My apologies for being late here but I wanted to say how much I enjoyed following your posts about Cinnamon. Such a beautiful fluffy boy. Play well over the bridge little one. You will be much missed

Thank you! We are still missing him and processing his loss. My daughter gets sad when we go to sleep at night and thinks about how sometimes we'd hear him at his wheel (even though we have a silent runner, there was a subtle noise).

It's hard isn't it - the familiarity that isn't there and the habits. It's one reason I get another hamster usually - somehow the grief is harder when you miss the familiar habits. but when I have another hamster to look after, I still hear a wheel and still have a routine for putting food out each night. Another hamster doesn't replace the one you've lost but they can cheer you up and they all have different personalities.
I'm not suggesting you would want to - just sharing how I found it hard without the familiarity of a hamster around. Some people get another one straight away, some wait a couple of weeks or so while processing things.
I think your first one is the hardest as well. A little member of your family who knew you all and whom you all loved. We were all really affected after our first hamster passed. A couple of months later, someone gave us another hamster - he was a competely different colour and personality and made us laugh for the first time for a couple of months - with his funny antics. That's what worked for us anyway. I still found I couldn't re-use some items due to familiarity, and did a completely different cage set up as well.
Big hugs to you all

Thank you! And yes to all that...I definitely think we will be getting another one, but we're traveling for Christmas so waiting until we're back. I'm keeping an eye out for adoption in our area, too. We'll go to the local Pet shop if needs be, but I'd prefer to adopt a hammie in need of a better home, if possible.It's hard isn't it - the familiarity that isn't there and the habits.

It'll be good to have a change of scene over Christmas as well.
