Trying to find the right words right now is difficult I don't think there are any that will sum up just how much I'm going to miss my old boy carmine :( He had to be taken to the vets this morning after discovering he had a big lump on the side of his face that was bleeding. He also had a large lump in his abdomen which we think might have been a tumour, at 2 and a half years not much could have been done and the lump would have only got bigger making him more uncomfortable. So I made the decision to have him put to sleep so he wouldn't have to suffer.
I got carmine in November 2011 as an early christmas present off my ex boyfriend, as soon as I saw him I fell in love with him and knew he was coming home with me. Only one problem I had no money :-/ So off I went to track down my boyfriend at the time and spend 30 minutes begging him to give me the money to get him and eventually he gave in to the puppy dog eyes :P
Went back to the pet store with my friend to get him, then another problem he had a notice on the tank saying he was only being given away free with any cage purchased in store.
I did not have enough money to get the cage and none of them were suitable anyway so asked the member of staff if I could just buy him at the same price the other hamsters were being sold at and she said no :evil: and started showing me the other hamsters they had in store.
But it had to be him the others were lovely but my eyes kept drifting over to carmine sat at the back of his tank like a little buddha and I knew it was him or no hamster at all. But the shop assistant wouldn't let me take him without a cage.
In the end my friend offered to put in some money towards getting a cage so I could have him :D in theory Carmine cost us about £25 worth every penny and my friend kept the cage which never got used.

At first he was terrified of us hiding in the corner if his cage screaming at us when we walked past but after 3 months he settled down and was happy to have cuddles.
He would sleep in the strangest places
