Hi everyone. I would just like to say good bye to Peanut. My beautifully perfect light grey and white syrain hamster. I bought her from pets at home after my other hamster had died at the age of only 8 months due to stroke ( bought from pets at home).
I noticed this morning Peanut was shaking and walking funny, she was also drinking a lot. This afternoon she was extremely lethargic, would let me stroke and even pick her up ( she wasn't tame yet) and wouldn't even move. I immediately phoned pets at home and was told to bring her down to their vets. So at 3. 45 pm today I bought Peanut to the pets at home vets. The very kind vet told me she was in severe pain( due to a problem inside, but unknown) and the only kind thing to do was to make the very hard decision of putting her too sleep. It was a heartbreaking decision but it was for the best. I had only had her TWO WEEKS exactly. I advise anyone who is looking to buy a hamster from pets at home to check their area for proper breeders or rescue centres before buying from pets at home. Unfortunately In my local area there is no hamster breeders and no rescue centres had the right hamster for me at the time.
R.I.P Peanut, such a short time together, but a time I will never forget. A great beautifully, coloured hamster, funny and very intelligent. A hamster that I will never forget.
Thank you for reading
