oh, this is so sad! look how much roslyn loves the little rat! rip, indeed, gumdrop! is he going to be replaced? i DON'T recommend a chinese water dragon as a replacement.
Hamsters aren't the most durable rodents. 2-3 year life span at most. Guinea Pigs live a lot longer and make funny noises if you are looking for a replacement.
Gumdrop say tell Wilma (our deceased Ginny pig) we said hello and we miss her...Zoe still feels horrible about squeezing her too hard. But in her defense she was only 2 and none of us knew she could open the cage.
i had a teddy bear hamster once when i was little. i hated that sucker! he would keep me up all night chewing on the bars of his cage. he did it so much he rubbed the hair off the top of his nose! he also bit me. i don't even remember how i got rid of it, but it didn't last long. i will take a dog or cat anyday over another annoying rodent.
but yeah, rip gumdrops. i know it's hard to lose a pet. even a rodent.
(probably should have been named poop drops anyways)
What a sweet picture. It reminds me of all the hamster's I had growing up. (I really wish someone had told my mom that hamster's have a 2 year life span. It would have saved a lot of grief and a lot of shoe boxes. Oh well.) I miss them all!

RIP gumdrop :(
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sorry about the loss of your family hamster.
ReplyDeleteOhh no!! We haven't had much luck with hamsters either. We had one that was like Houdini and kept escaping until he escaped and was never found again.
ReplyDeleteThen there was the one we had last year who died in his plastic tunnel thing. That was...interesting and sad.
What a sweet picture.
