He doesn't even look dead, he is kind of lying on his side, half curled up, I really hope he didn't suffer. I have covered him with a tissue, now I have to find some kind of little box to bury him in, it's the least I can do.

I feel like a terrible owner right now, I wish I could have done more for him.

He was pale beige with a white band, but became completely white as he got older. He was around 18 months old. He wasn't the most social hamster but he seemed to enjoy it when I put him on a soft blanket and stroked him.

So sorry for your loss.Dont feel like you did something wrong, sometimes they just pass suddenly.
