Re: Help!
Hello and welcome aboard! I'm so sorry for your loss. Are you sure he's passed? I know it may seem silly, but hamsters really are deep sleepers and this can sometimes be mistaken for death! Did he display any odd symptoms at all? As sad as it may be, I think you'll just need to be honest with your kids and tell them that he has travelled to another place and will no longer be with you. As for where to dispose of him, after you ensure he's dead of course (look for lack of breathing, rigor mortis, and a cold body), you can freeze his body (I know gross) until you're set on what to do. I have a small garden where I bury my hamsters, but you can also get them cremated if you choose to, though this is pricey and quite difficult. I'm so sorry for your loss, may he Rest In Peace
