Missing "special" ones

[Amethyst_ice]

I'm not meaning to put a dampener on things but i'm amongst people who can relate.

I've had a wonderful night at the cinema with my friend, really feel like a furry hug...I go to Indys cage to get him out..then remember...so I go to the rat cage to get cloud out..and remember.

I love my new rat pack to bits but nobody is cuddly. Bear has never been a cuddler..i just tried...i have a house full of animals but feel very alone. I'm not used to there not being a "special" one...we all know them..the one that seems to "understand" more, love more, listen more.

Having a blub because I feel so lost without having a connection. Trying to remember all the happy and special moments but i just miss having one that will sit on my shoulder and let me have a big blub into their fur and not protest i made them look all soggy and messy!

Thats all.

I miss them so much.

I know how you feel and I just want to say sorry

we get sometimes a sweet soul who seems to be irreplaceable in our affections, we never forget those pets and we look sometimes to the ones we have wishing they were a bit like them and slightly hating ourselves for thinking so.
Yep I know how you feel with some extra time one might become snuggly enough to help with fluffy cuddles, but since losing Buttons my cuddler hamster the boys being to lazy to get up for a cuddle I can understand how you can miss a snuggly pet.

I know how you feel. Snickers was my main cuddler and we had such a good bond. Now Cooper's the only one who likes cuddles but I have to wake him up and he's so different to Snickers. I love them all but it's just nice to have cuddles sometimes.

Hope you're okay xxxx

Sending hugs - maybe in time one of the others will become cuddly - I'm still hoping my guinea pigs will eventually

Awwww I empathise with you. It's hard when a special one leaves us. You will find another because I have done so. After my original 19 years of owning Syrians with up to 7 at a time, I had some wonderful animals. Don't get me wrong every one of them was a good ham, but only a select few (4) were true cuddlers. I even had one who used to get concerned when I was I'll or blue myself. It was freaky.

Sending cuddles your way. You will find another cuddler.

I'm so sorry, you miss them so much because they left their little paw prints just that tiny bit deeper in your heart. You will have another cuddler again, be it current little one that turns cuddly or a new little one that comes along one day. I miss having a sleeping robo, Jam used to sleep curled up in my sleeve or hood pretty much every day, whereas it does happen, but far more rarely with my others. I can see Dasher doing that way more as gets older, but Jam was the only one I've had so far that was a super snuggler.

thanks guys, its nice to hear about your special ones too x

Maybe your ratty boys just need a little more time to get older, slower and more mature before thy become cuddlers. Mine are all fairly young and don't sit still for too long. They like to be held for a small amount of time
Though. Even Kaiji the Ham who never came out of his bed, since a cage change his personality changed and he loves to come out for a hold. I'm sure one of the pets you have will turn into a cuddler just persevere.

I know just what you mean. All my current hamsters are fabulous but don't think much of snuggles. Sebastian was my cuddly ham and he died back in 1990 Sending you hugs x
