Default Goodbye Sparky

With a heavy heart we had to say our last goodbyes to one of our hamsters. We had him only for almost 2 months, he still didnt let us hold him, but i could stroke his head when he ate and he wasnt attacking our fingers anymore so i tough we were going in a right direction. Not sure what happened he was up and running last night and even the whole morning ( which is a bit unusual as he was rarely up in the mornings , he did wake up around 7 pm and would run like a maniac in his wheel all night , he ate and drank all his food enjoyed treats. 2 days ago he climbed out of his cage and fell behind the cabinet i was able to get him back by luring him into a small tube with food ( i tried not to handle him at all as he was already stressed from the fall) he was fine the whole night he ate and run as usual even the next day which was monday he was fine in the morning. At night i went to check on him and his brother snowball and he wasnt out. Which was a bit out of his behavior as it was 9 pm already. I went to put my kids to bed by the time i came back i found him already dead not sure how to break it to my kids in the morning. He didnt have any signa of illnes and up until today he ate and drank was very active , no wet tail, eye infections and had shiny coat. So probably the fall must have caused some internal injuries as i couldn't see anything on the outside. Any other option wiuld be if he got into on of some old rat/ mouse poison ... my landlord sprays this foam to close all the holes around the heaters to prevent them from coming in , maybe he chewed on that ?

Rest in peace little one, we will miss you Sparky

Paulina such I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about Sparky, I think the fall behind the cabinet caused his sudden and early death causing internal injuries, a shock for you and for your kids. Was he near the foam rat poison filled up holes around the heaters? Usually this would set quickly unless he managed to nibble at. How did the your kids take the news?

So sorry for the loss of your wee Sparky. Although you only had him for two months, it sounds as though you shared a lot of love, and that will stay with you.

Well when he fell i was able to lure him into one of his tubes with some food within 5 min so he Didnt have much time to eat it but the whole heater has the foam all over it i did see him most of the time he disappeared under the heater for only a split second so most likely it was the fall that caused internal injuries ... it was sad my 4 year old son was sad i dont think he fully got the grasp on what happened as today he Told me we he was just saying his name so many times to bring him back to life ..

We were just starting building a relationship it took him a long time to even eat out of my hand, he did attack it in the beginning and we were just at a point where he would walk and sit on my hand for few seconds , so its sad we didnt get a chance to snuggle like his “brother” ....
