Yes, there's that in it but knowing that the hamsters will move to a good home helps to let go, i think.
I've collected a few unwanted hamsters in small cages lately and to be shown photos of them with their new and caring owners later, living in Barneys and out playing would certainly help to let them move on, in theory that is.
I have two spare cages, the Sunflower Lodge and Casa Cacti for times when the rescue is overrun with hamsters and in which case they could stop over with me until a space becomes available. I never managed to forget the two dwarves trapped in this weird cage with tiny modules which in my opinion is downright cruel and i couldn't do anything about it at the time but now i could. I saw a Syrian trapped in one of those awful cages too and still regret not having driven the (long) distance when he was advertised. Kind of haunts me. Don't know why hamsters get to me the way they do.
