RIP Winter.
She died in my hands this evening and its upset me a lot more than I thought it would tbh. I don't really know what happened, saw her having a dig in her cage earlier on, then checked on her a few hours later to find her feeling all floppy and mostly unresponsive, but still breathing and moving about a little. Put her on a warm water bottle and wrapped he in a towel, but she passed away a few minutes ago

Its come as a shock really, as she was the youngest of my hamsters by about 6 months, only had her since November.

She could be a grumpy little madam whilst in her cage, but once she was out, she was just incredibly friendly. It was fascinating watching her change colours over the space of a few months.

I remember you getting Winter and I can't believe I'm reading her memorial. So sorry for your loss, so glad you were with her at her end, this will have been a comfort to her.
Such a beautiful girl and loved seeing her coat change colours.
Thinking of you and sending you big hugs xxx

I'm so sorry for your loss Snowe Hamster, it's always so hard to lose any ham but when it's sudden & unexpected like this it is especially hard, I really feel for you & hope you're ok.

Winter was a lovely little ham & I'm sure her time with you was full of happiness & love even though it was so sadly short, try to take comfort knowing that her passing was quick with no lengthy suffering & I'm sure she was glad to have you with her there at the end.

Run free & play well at the bridge little Winter.

I'm so sorry to hear this SH, Winter was so young. She had a sweet, loving personality and we were all fascinated by her gradual coat changes. It's incredibly difficult when you lose a ham, especially one that young, but try to remember the good times you've had with Winter and think positive xxx

Run free and play well at the bridge Winter
