Our dear friend Henry passed away at home in his beloved coconut.

There has been an air of sadness in our house for a few days now because we all felt that Henry was near the end of his life. Time spent with him was precious and Henry himself showed an affection he wasn't exactly known for. He moved out of his house about a week ago and decided to live in his outhouse. Henry became so weak but still wobbled around and ate a little porridge. Last night he did one last small circuit of his habitat with his eyes closed and wobbling all over the place. He was so weak that he didn't manage to get back into his coconut but still strong enough not to let me pick him up because he was determined to get back into his coconut so i lifted his backend up and hoisted him in. He curled up, went to sleep and never woke up again.

Henry was our first hamster. Every time a new hamster moved in to stay or stop over i told him not to worry because he will always be No 1 hamster. Henry was special and we will miss him so much.
