Yesterday was a very sad and also shocking day. Violet my Syrian Hamster passed away completely unexpectedly, she was just 18 months old (which is old in hamster terms, but I have had hamsters live longer than this).
It was such a shock as she had been acting completely normally in the morning, her neighbour - Axel Rose is going to be 2 on the 1st of January and if any of them were going to pass away i would have expected it to have been him.
Violet was a lovely hamster and I will miss her dearly, play hard at the bridge Violet - I will see you again someday.
