Re: My First Loss
I'm so sorry for your loss.
It's nothing you did - it was her time so no point having regrets. If you saw no eveidence she was ill then you wouldn't have found any reason to take her to a vets and they can die very suddenly. It's possible that she had some sort of congenital fault like for example a heart valve defect that would cause her to die young. In pet shop hams bred in rodent farms they don't pay so much attention to the health of the parents.
Remember the good times and how you cared for her and loved her now. If you decide at some point to get another hammy I would work hard on the taming with that one just so that you can do health checks more easily and also you can enjoy more close time with your hamster. We can help guide you with that.
