Milo my Angel

[haystack]

Yesterday night, Milo passed away peacefully in a buried hide filled with soft tissue paper. He was my first hamster and I only had him two months before he passed away. He was a rescue, I'm not exactly sure how old he was maybe 1.5 years. The previous owner got him from PetSmart so maybe that's the cause of this (poor genetics from unethical breeding?). I'm so devastated. I don't know if there was anything I could've done, he got sick and passed away in less than 48 hours and it got bad really quickly. I decided not to take him to get care because he was so weak so suddenly, I thought the car ride, and leaving him somewhere unfamiliar, the needles/antibiotics and everything, he might have passed from the shock. Now I feel like I regret that decision. I did everything I could to keep him as happy and healthy as possible, and I hope it was a good choice to let him pass away peacefully at home. I'm missing him so much. Rest in peace Milo I love you so much.

Goodbye Milo

I am so sorry for your loss. Milo was adorable and he was lucky to have a loving home with you. It is very hard adopting a hamster at 1.5 years and not knowing how long they have left. 1.5 years is technically old age for a hamster, so it sounds like it was his time. I think you did all the right things. It's just very hard on you when it was your first hamster, not to have longer with him.

He is playing free now over the Rainbow Bridge - free from pain - but they leave a hole in our hearts for a while. I hope you will think of finding another hamster to love and care for when the time feels right. x

He was very handsome. In his pictures, he is quite a mature hammy and could easily be as old as two. But for the short time you had him, he was very happy and knew he was loved and had a good life. They are so wonderful when they get older, much more approachable and confident. Snuggle softly at the bridge lovely Milo
