My hampster foo died today, which is part of pair, the other named bar.

What is quite strange is that today, is exactly two months before my 16th birthday.

No longer will poor little foo run in his wheel. I remember the look of joy on his face as he though "I'm finally getting out of here". Sorry he died. Let me know if you need anything.

I had Hampsters once, ive never seen a creature procreate (terrible spelling) as much as these did, they must have had 20-30 babys in the short life span of like 6 months. It was rediculous, it got so bad that we had to seperate them, so we built a wall in the cage, well they just chewed right threw it and what do you know, more baby's.....

I bought a hampster once.

My snake was a good girl so I gave her a treat

now that's my kind of pet ;-)

that would have been funny in any other thread. ~smack~ ;)

my condolences jty. maybe get another one so bar won't be lonely. but name the new one fly! ~hugs~

Feed the rats to the snakes. Hamsters are too cool! I've had 2 my entire life. First one: Chip. (it rhymed with my dogs name and being a semi-computer geek I had to keep the name close) He was the coolest hamster ever. Gentle, always awake when I wanted to take him out of his cage, and never bit anyone. He lived 3 whole years... ::sobs:: I miss my wittle chip!

The second one, Little Ninja (named after the fact that he scaled the walls of his cage), was the most evil creature on earth. It bit every chance it got and lived an entire 2 weeks. I tried all I could to make it happy, but it just wasn't a pet type of creature. Due to the fact that it NEVER slept in the 2 weeks, it finally just had a total energy loss. Lately I've been checking out the dwarf hamsters (the coolest kind!) at the pet shop and they have babies. They're sooooooooooooo cute. I may have to sneak one in as soon as I can afford one of those billion dollar Max or Hamtrail habitat things that have all the tunnels and stuff.

My suggestion is to get another one if you think your current one could get along. It can get lonely being the only one of your species in the household.

My hampster died last winter. Sad day. It only lived 8 months!

*shudders at Stephanie's post*

That's why I don't like having pets sometimes - all the mess you've gotta take care of. :bawling:

Then one day he came back but had this huge, oozing, dripping, puss filled, disgusting knot like thing on his head. I made my mom call the vet. He told her to pop it so she did. He died a few days later.

Boyeeeee that story took a turn for the ugly. I was expecting "eaten by a cat", "noises in the wall", something, but NOTHING like, "oozing, dripping, puss filled..."

*also shutters at Stephanie's post*

Thanks for the kind words.

I have some pictures of my dwarf hamster if it will help... we went in for pet food and saw them, and yes, they are small and cute and fluffy, we ended up taking one home. Cujo, bites everything.

OMG!!! It's sooo cute! My mom's friend calls our dog Cujo (still haven't figured out why since he's never done anything to her). Which reminds me, went to the petshop today (it's becoming a daily habit). All the puppies were up and running, the rats were crawling on all sides of the cage except the bottom, and all the dwarf hamsters were gone. :( They're really too adorable for their own good.

Very adorable Chicken.

Now if I can just get over the fact that mice reproduce like plague, I might actually think about even getting one...

i have 5 cats, so no mouse or hampster would live long in my house. :D

but that is an adorable hampster chicken!

Really cute Hamster Chicken.

*SIGH* I can't get another hamster. We have 3 cats, and one of them is kinda crazy in the head.

I used to have a hamster. One was named Molly. She was very gentle and rarely bit anyone. She died after 2 years.

We got a second one. This one was named Flossy. All she did during here 10 - 12 months on earth was try to escape her habitrail tubes. We went away for a trip, and came back to find her dead on the floor. She had chewed her way though one of the pipes. At this time, we had 2 cats. The hamster showed no signs of being scratched. We think it died of fright (although that is kinda funny) from seing a cat. Oh well.

I want another one, but I probably won't be allowed to get one until I am older, or the crazy cat calms down

I wish I could get one of those cute things :)

The reason I don't, is because when it will die, I will never get over it.

Heck, I even cry when one of my fishes dies :(

Yeah like I said, I went in to buy food for my rat (good pets by the way), and ended up taking cujo home as well. Couldn't resist.

ditto that sentence.

I have had 4 rats so far.

I got my first two in Early 1999. Then 6 months later, One of them, Albie died because of a tumor. It didn't like the anethesia that the doctor gave it. Poor little fella.

Then when that one died, we got a new one: Doris. She's very exciting and always is active.

Then in late march/early April, my mom bought a very young gray rat. Her name is Libby.

Then the weekend before Memorial Day, that thursday, I watched my oldest rat, the one originally bought die. It had a massive convulsion, and laid in my hand and died. I loved her.

Now I got two hyper rats. One is so small she gets through the cage. And now they go anywhere they want. That includes to terrorize the hamster, who is right abot them in a cage.

If you want to talk about pets, then well contact me.
