My younger son’s hamster, who I also loved, passed away yesterday.
We bought Hammond as a 10 week old babe from a recommended pet store, animaltastic, where they have good knowledge and take good care of their animals.
Hammond was well looked after by my son, we’ve had two previous hamsters who lived to 2 and 2 and a quarter. So when Evan noticed there was an issue with Hammond we took him to the vet, got antibiotic. I noticed he was breathing heavily on Wednesday. But on Thursday-he was running around in his ball and appeared a lot better.
So when I asked Evan to get him up to check on him last night we were upset and shocked to find he had passed away.
He was only just 7 months old. He was a lively, friendly hamster who loved being handled. He was very chatty.
Evan has said he doesn’t want another hamster as he says it’s too upsetting to lose a pet so soon when you’re so attached.
We have decorated a box and he’s in comfy bedding for his final rest, were burying him under our magnolia this afternoon .
�� RIP Hammond.
