Just out of curiosity- do you remember the time frame much? E.g how long it was from your ham sleeping and wobbling a lot more to eventually passing away?

Thanks for replying
He declined quite rapidly within two or three weeks, lost a lot of weight and became weaker and weaker but was still trying to do his usual hamster stuff.
I knew that his end was near about a week before he died and the last five days or so he was very wobbly and slept most of the time.
At that point i also asked myself if it would be kinder to have him put to sleep but he had made it very clear that he wanted to die in his coconut and that's exactly what he did a couple of days later.
