Default Re: Euthanasia

Please don’t do this. Absolutely not. If you read more about it, it can cause terrible suffering and be an awful way to die (suffocation). Aside from the fact it is probably illegal. The only safe humane way is via the vets. I came across things like this too before but there is a lot more to it and there is no humane way of doing it at home.

Please be clear it is not stressful for the hamster being taken to the vet when it is time to go and is helping them on their way. They are often begging for help effectively by the time you get to that stage. They don’t know what is going to happen and they are anesthetised. It is why vets can’t do euthanasia at home for hamsters - because of the anaesthetic gas.
