Old hamsters

I'm so sorry Lorena. We are thinking about you. Huge hugs xxx
 
🫂 It's so hard. It's good she passed peacefully in her home with you, and with love, but it is so hard for you. It can help when you've had a little service or burial of some kind to say goodbye. When you're ready. I also find it helps to cover the cage with a blanket or the reminder of their presence can be quite raw - until you feel ready to clean it out and put everything away. I can't always do it straight away.
 
She had a lovely long life with you and wonderful care - it was her time. But it is so incredibly hard for us when they go. I know it is too soon to think about this maybe, but what I find can help with grief, is to get another hamster. They are all different and a new baby hamster makes you laugh, which helps with the grief and they need us. I usually need at least two weeks to think about getting another one, some people need longer, some people do it straight away. One of the hardest things about the grief is suddenly not having the familiar care habits of feeding and routines, and having another one helps with that as you still have the routines.

But they do leave a big hole in our hearts. And another hamster won't replace her, but there is always room in our hearts for another hamster to help heal that though. It can help if they are a different colour or species.

In time you'll remember all the happy memories.
 
I was thinking about it and I might do.
Always thinking to get a roborosky they look adorable. Always a bit scared for a Syrian, But not right now. I buried Sweetie at the park in front my flat and I’m looking at her empty cage ♥️
 
I'm so sorry. It does help once we've done a burial. You could maybe cover the cage over. Sometimes I just want to clean it all out straight away. Other times I just cover it until I feel like dealing with it.

Robos are lovely but taming can be hard and not always possible.

I love Syrians - but they do tend to come out late at night!
 
I'm so sorry to hear this. You were with her when she needed you. She had a nice long life with you. Sending kind thoughts your way.
 
So very sad but also beautiful to see Sweetie content and warm in her last moments in your arms my thoughts are with you at this sad time
 
I'm so sorry to hear this, Sweetie was beautiful. She had a lovely life with you and it's great you were able to be together in the end. My thoughts are with you. Sleep well little one.
 
I am very sorry to hear about you beautiful little girl Sweetie.
