My beautiful, adorable, fantastic boy, left for the bridge in the early hours of this morning. I am devastated & heartbroken.
Losing any of my hams is extremely hard but I must admit this is the worst I have ever felt. Patch was only 6 months old.
He suddenly became ill on Saturday evening by Sunday he was already on his way to the bridge. The Vet thinks it was something genetic or internal.

Patch came into my life after my sweet squeaky Pebbles had passed. He lived his short life at a million miles an hour. I have never had such a hyper hamster. I never had to tame him, he was just friendly from the off.

He'd awake at 5pm every evening & as soon as I opened his cage door he'd climb out himself. Such a character. He always had at least an hour out free roaming & then a run in the bath playpen.

I'm lost already without him & it hurts like hell. :cry: Just feel numb.

He was hard to photograph because he was so fast but when I did catch him on the rare occasions he was still, well he was stunning. xx

My last ever photograph only taken on Thursday. It's awful how you can have a healthy ham one minute then a seriously ill one the next.

I am so very sorry Rach :( It is so very hard to lose one so young. He touched your heart and is there now in his place as it should be. He lived a lifetime in his short life and packed everything in so never fear that he did not enjoy his time to the full because he had it all.
Play well at the bridge Patch - no doubt you will be keeping all the seniors on their toes up there x

So very sorry for your loss Patch was a truly adorable handsome little boy. You were so lucky to have found each other for the so short time you had together, he was where he belonged in a loving home with an adoring mum . He will be young free and cheeky forever playing at the rainbow bridge X Hammy hugs from Tiffany & Humdi X

I'm so sorry, Rach. Sounds like he's one of those special lights that burns very bright, and he certainly lived all his life with you to the fullest and happiest he could. xxx

I'm so sorry you lost Patch so soon. It just shows we have to enjoy every minute with are hams as they can suddenly just leave us.

Rest well Patch.

I can't begin to say how sorry I am that Patch is gone RachK. It was hard enough for you when Pebbles went to the bridge and you were so happy to get Patch. It's especially hard when they are still so young. My deepest sympathy {hugs} :-( Run to Pebbles little Patch. Play well :-(
