Our male hamster “boy” died today. I’m sad as is my family. My daughter is really broken up. Something struck me as odd or different when I was playing with him last night but I couldn’t put my finger on it. I’m pretty sure he impregnated Goldie about 6 days ago when she found her way out of the playpen and was able to get into his. Something like that has never happened before. They’ve occasionally escaped but never entered another play area.
Boy was my favorite of the 5. He was always the first one up and he’d be running hard on his wheel. I’d lower my hand in his enclosure and he’d hop on so he could come out to visit one of the play areas as well as be held and pet. He would come to me when I tapped my finger or come up the tube between enclosure levels when I gently shook it.
He was just over a year old and he was born at our home. I thought we had longer……
He’ll be buried tomorrow
I hope Goldie isn’t pregnant but at the same time, I’d like 1 or 2 of his offspring.
Just sucks. We’d have liked to had more time with him.
There’s a part of me that feels strange about a grown and somewhat masculine man being endeared to what’s considered a child’s pet but I developed a love for the species while trying to make my daughter happy.
Ah well, Boy will be missed.
