Sleep tight Stumpy

[AmyHague]

I have some sad news, my little 3 legged fighter was helped to the rainbow bridge this morning.

Stumpy became poorly very suddenly and lost a drastic amount of weight very quickly, and last night he was struggling to walk around, so he came to the vets with me today.

I never imagined my little 3 legged runt to survive, let alone thrive and live to be 2years old! He certainly was a little trooper!

Sleep tight my boy <3

Wow what a shock to see this thread the minute HC loaded on my PC. First my condolences on your loss. Though two years is a good age it is still so soon to say goodbye. Stumpy was such and inspiration on how Hamsters can cope with a disability. I remember the many post wondering how a Hamster would survive with only one front paw. All those questions asked at that time like would he be able to unpouch, could he use his wheel like a normal hamster, How ever would he manage to wash his whole face etc. Day by day, and then Month by month Stumpy himself gave us all the answers.

Rest well Little big Man you were a one of a kind Hamster, and though we can no longer see you, your presence will always be felt on HC.

[Bec]

Absolutely well said Nancy.... He was certainly one of a kind x

[Coco61]

Nancy has put it so well. What a heart warming life for a little fellow. A much loved and special ham indeed. Sleep well little Stumpy. Run free.

[Mrs Livingston]

I'm so sorry to read this. Play well, little man x

[Rads]

What a little hero, so sorry to hear the news of stumpy's demise, hopefully he is causing chaos where ever he may be now...
