Little Pea died yesterday afternoon, in the palm of my hand.

I noticed she couldn't get up and was liying on her side kicking her legs. So I picked her up and cuddled her, figuring she'd just had a stroke. She fell asleep in a little fluffy ball in the palm of one hand and stayed that way for a while. She looked so peacefull. Her heart was going so fast though and her breathing was eratic. I took her upstairs to put her on one of my heat mats to keep her warm, but she had a heart attack before I could get it ready. It was very quick, seconds really, so I'm pleased about that, but angry that she had to go through it at all.

Little Pea was a funny little ham, she would pick and choose when she wanted to come out to play, and if she didn't she'd always give me a nip to let me know! She loved her mealworms and her favourite tea was couscous with chicken : ) She was very cheaky and loved to run away just so I would have to get her back, but ever now and then she'd just want to cuddle : 3

Your better again now, so have fun whereever you are, my little Pea.

Thank you everyone. It's nice to know that people on here understand, I know if I tryed to explain to others they'd just be thinking 'well, it was just a hamster, so what?'.

Chip and Nut seem fine. I thought they might be looking for her, but maybe they understand she wasn't well and has gone somewhere else.

Pea was making me laugh just the day before 'cause she was flinging sand everywhere when she was having a sand bath : ) She was funny.

Poor little Pea :( At least she did not suffer long and was loved to the last minutes of her life. Stay strong and remember the good times you've had together.

Thank you everone for your kind comments, it's good to have people who understand.

I do miss her. She used to make me laugh having her sandbath, and now I'm catching myself looking over to see if she's there, to see if she's going to make me laugh again. Maybe that's selfish of me to think that way?

Chip did the job last night though... climbing up her wooden bridge, standing up on her hind legs and falling backwards onto Nut! X ) They made me feel so much better then, like they knew I needed cheering up and they'd planned that just for me : ) So naturally they both got a couple of mealworms each.

I'm really sorry to read about Little Pea. I'm sure wherever she is, she's in peace and pain free. She knew she was loved while she was with you.

And I don't think that it's selfish that you're looking at her cage, waiting for her to make you laugh because that is what made your relationship special.

Chip and Nut will make you smile and remember that no matter what, they and Little Pea will always love you and appreciate your love for them.

Sending you Big Teddy Bear Hugs!

Thank you rokchick03.

Chip and Nut are playing the 'who's gunna be boss' game at the minuet. Nothing bad, just a load of dramatic squeeking and a lot of pinning. They're both dominant hams though, so don't know which will win yet.

For anyone that's wondering, that's Pea in my avvy pic : ) Taken not long after she was brought home. I like it 'cause she's got that looking-to-see-if-anyone-has-noticed-what-she's-done face : 3

Thank you.
She did like to burrow a lot, mostly in her sandbath. She did make me laugh kicking it out everywhere : ) I hope she's got the biggest sandbath of all... I know she'd be chuffed with that.

Thank you everyone.

I am feeling a bit better, but it's still very strange to only have two left. I'm still catching myself looking over to see if she's there, but I know she's not going to be. Funny how we do that, isn't it?

Milo: I'm sorry about your loss too.
