One of my hamster died last night.
No wonder i felt something was amiss.. just suddenly can sense it.
Actually was kind of prepared for it when i saw the balding patch on its back.. don't know whether it was due to aging or disease. But then, it seems to be quite active a few days back.
This dwarf hamster had only been with me for 10 months.. still short of the 12-18 months of their average lifespand. But then again, not all hamsters are created equal. Well, it was the 2nd death of hamsters i've witnessed.. the rest were given off before they've reached the end of their lifespand.
A many years ago when i'm still in primary school, i got another exotic pet.. It died a short while later, but i didn't know. I was told that it was 'returned' back to the seller. Well at least, i got to know the death of this hamster 1st.
So this ham had crossed the rainbow bridge.. hopefully all will be well.
