Re: Toby Nibblesworth
I am so sorry to hear about Toby (incidentally, my first hamster’s middle name was also Nibblesworth!). Toby was a handsome little guy who lived to a very good old age. I think you absolutely did the right thing. It sounds as though the likelihood was that this wasn’t something Toby was going to recover from and you acted with his best interests in mind. I know it hurts now, but it will get better. Maybe make an album of his old pictures or make a memorial for him in the garden to remember him by.

Re: Toby Nibblesworth
Thank you all for your replies. It has actually given me a lot of comfort. It's getting a little easier day by day and I finally faced dismantling the cage/palace yesterday. Before Toby left I had briefly considered getting some rats, but I miss him so much I know I will need another Ham in my life at some point. Although I don't think I'll ever be able to have another black bear.
(AprilPearl Nibblesworth is a great choice!)
Thanks again everyone

Re: Toby Nibblesworth
Kat, I am so very sorry to hear of your terrible loss of your beloved Nibblesworth. He sounds like a truly amazing and sweet hammy, and I know the two of you must have shared such a special bond. You can tell via the gorgeous pic of him that he loved you dearly. His paw gently resting on your arm shows the trust and love that he had for you. I know that his passing must have been such an unbearable decision for you, but under the circumstances it most definitely was the right one to make. Please don't ever doubt yourself or feel guilty for your actions because it is so evident that you loved and cared for him so unconditionally and whole-heartedly. You spared him of going through any additional pain and discomfort because you loved him so dearly, and Nibblesworth knew it. Please take comfort in the memories that the two of you created with each other and know that he was a truly lucky hammy to have a loving forever home with you. Nibblesworth's burial place sounds like such a lovely place for you to come and feel closer to him. The maple tree in your garden sounds gorgeous. Rest in peace, sweet Nibblesworth. Give Kat a sign that you are alright because she loves and misses you so. Kat, I am sending you hugs and Eros is sending you whisker kisses. Take care, Kat.
