Default R.I.P Nelson

We have some very sad news. Our beautiful Black-eyed cream father of 8 and grand-father Nelson has died. He was a lovely hamster and will be greatly missed.

He had been getting quieter over the past few days, and his eyes kept getting worse and were always stuck together. He stopped coming out of his nest and didn't like us touching him. He passed away peacefully in his sleep.

He wa a real character, and entertained us greatly with his 'pancake creeps'! This was where he went really flat and crawled along really fast! His favourite foods were hamster porridge and lettuce. He became quieter and less active as he got older, but was still very lively.

Nelson, you were a gorgeous hamster with a brilliant temperament. You were a real character and never bit or scratched. You had 8 lovely children, and now grandchildren, and your memory will live on in them. R.I.P Nelly, you will never be forgotten.

Here are some of our favourite pictures of him.



















Nelson was a gorgeous hamster and will never be forgotten. R.I.P little Nel, we will always love you.

The most beautiful of little men you were truly a gentleman. Always soft, always gentle, always kind you taught us so much. How to win, how to lose, how to laugh but most of all how to love. You will be so much missed but we will keep you in our hearts forever.
Sleep well little man and give Bailey a snuffle from us.

Ohhh such sad news Pophammy. He was such a special little guy. I loved looking at the wonderful photos of him and know from them what a real character and little gentleman he was. He will live on in his children and grandchildren as well as in your memories.
Sleep well Nelson x x

I am so sorry for you both - I know how much he meant to you.

You have some wonderful memories to treasure and I'm sure Pawsy and Caramel would be proud that they've just brought his grand-children into the world. If they are half as beautiful and good-natured as he was I'll be so happy.

RIP Nelson, you will be missed
