[cypher]

I’m so very sorry for your loss, it’s always hard losing a hamster. Maple lived to a really good age & passed peacefully at home, that’s the best you can hope for for your ham.
It takes time, the memories of the good times will help when your initial grief has begun to ease a little, we never stop missing them but they do live on in our hearts.
It can help to make a memorial for them either something like a memory box or something to mark their final resting place.
Take your time cleaning the cage & do it when you feel ready, sometimes I’ve felt the need to do it quite soon other times it’s taken me weeks, listen to your heart & do what feels right for you.

Run free & play well at the bridge Maple.
