Re: My hamster isn't eating almost anything
I don't really understand why you keep blaming yourself.
I think that you need to learn to accept that hamsters can get ill just like humans can.
Just because you are a first time hamster companion doesn't mean that you are a bad one.
Maybe you are very young or have been very lucky and have never experienced illness in your life. Maybe your family and friends have never been ill so Bogie's illness is something completely new to you which would explain why you struggle to understand that illness can happen at anytime.
Would you say its my fault that my 10 months old dwarf hamster died of cancer? Some things are out of our control no matter how hard we try to make things right.
No matter how well we look after our hamsters, we cannot prevent illnesses. So please stop blaming yourself. It is not your fault that Bogie is ill.
Instead of spending hours crying, try to make the best of the time you have together. You can cry later. Bogie is alive, he may not be able to play with you but he can feel your love.
