Rest in peace Jasper. I recently lost my golden angel, Arun. He was also over 2 and died peacefully in his nest. I am on a breeders waiting list for a long haired golden syrian but until then I have 2 robos and a dwarf hybrid to keep me busy.

Good to see you back on here.

. Sorry to hear about Arun, flowerfairy.

I'm glad Oreo is doing better!

I'm so sorry for your loss. I recently had a hamster pass away about a month ago. Jasper loved you, and I'm sure Jasper misses you. I hope you're doing well even after the passing of your beloved friend.

So very sorry for your loss Chesca. Jasper was much loved and will be forever remembered and mised.

I am so sorry for your loss of Jasper but glad he passed peacefully and you are ready to have another hamster in your life. I'm sure the right hamster will find you xxx

I am so sorry chesca to hear about Jasper crossing the rainbow bridge. Jasper was thoroughly spoilt and loved by you and was very fortunate to have you as his wonderful owner.

Play well at the bridge Jasper.

I don't think it is insensitive to think about getting a new hamster - everyone different and I too find having a new hamster and only you will know when it the right time to welcome home a new hammy. Which ever hamster steals your heart will be extremely fortunate to have you as their amazing owner.

I am so sorry for your loss. He was a great age and much loved.
Run free at the bridge Jasper x

I am utterly heartbroken to hear this Chesca

I had not seen this thread. I’m so sorry for your loss, may little Jasper play well at the bridge. He touched all of our hearts here at HC. Sending lots of love your way xx

Thank you all very much. It means so much to me that you all took the time to reply to this thread

.

I am hoping to get a new hamster within the next few days. My plan is to drive around all the local Pets At Home adoption centres with my dad until I find the one. I don't feel like waiting for a breeder this time around and I think most rescues (e.g. RSPCA) have very few hamsters or are quite far away. At least this way there is more choice and I can help a hamster have a better life (I think most hamsters in rescues or from good breeders end up going to good homes but I could be wrong).

I have set up my Savic Plaza Knockdown but I'm wondering if a hamster might be more comfortable settling into the Ikea Billy and then being upgraded?

I've ordered another Trixie wheel (I binned both of Jasper's old wheels - Comfort Wheel and Trixie) but at some point I do want to get the Silent Runner, maybe after my birthday when I have more savings. I do want to get a couple more toys since I ended up binning quite a lot (all my cardboard toys and some of my wooden toys and anything that had wee stains or was in Jasper's cage when he died. The decorator also put shampoo and conditioner sideways in one of the toy boxes so quite a few got ruined there as well). I spent ages last week building a large Puzzle Playground as a kingdom. I forgot how fiddly they are! I put lots of exits in though and I never put base panels in so I can lift it up/hamster can tunnel/won't get ruined by a hoard/toilet. I got lucky and managed to find a set with about 40 pieces for £6 at some random pet shop.

I think my next update will hopefully be when I have a new furry friend
