Beautiful patient Tino

They do yes - they often go somewhere to die. It was my first thought. But then it was the idea he might have just got stuck and hadn't noticed the other exit.
 
I know these are normal feelings that kick in after a hamster dies when you keep wondering things - it's just time - we all go through it.

Yes, it is a very human instinct which is based on caring deeply for your pet. It is very normal and healthy 🙏❤️

We just found Tino passed away in his cage tonight. Am a bit choked up. His food hadn't gone from the night before, he wasn't in his house - I found him somewhere else in the cage. Just trying to process it before making arrangements.

As many of you know he was a beautiful big boy and a softie. He was almost 2.5 years old and had been on metacam for some time. He seemed to have energy. He had been active every night. It must have been his time.
Oh Maz , I'm so sorry to see this. He had a great life with you. Hope yr ok hun xx

I'm so sorry for your loss. Little Tino had such a big life and a big impact on his home and this community.
 
I'm sorry Maz, it's so hard when you see it coming but there's nothing you can do to beat father time. Tino seemed like he was doing well aside of age, you took great care of him.
 
I am sorry Maz to hear this.
please don’t torment yourself with such thoughts 🥲 you are the most loving and caring hamster mum 🫶 it was clearly just Tinos time and it is always traumatic when it happens so fast, but when you process the loss of a beloved pet that passes so sudden, it is a comforting to know they didn’t suffer long.
Most animals try to hide (or squeeze in tight spaces) when they know their time has come 🥲 I learnt this when working at the vet. I send you a comforting hug and let me tell you: if I was a hamster I would feel blessed to have you as my mum 🌺🌺🌺
Thank you 🩷
 
It's hard to find words that would console you , it's such a sad time😔you can only think that he is at peace now and you gave him a wonderful life. Sending love and virtual hugs 🤗💞Ness
 
It has been one of those times the last couple of weeks - first the moth outbreak and cage disinfection, various other hectic things last week and I pulled my back on Friday - it all happens at once.
 
Thank you. Yes I thought pulling my back was the last straw (I already have bad knees!) and then Tino died.

Fingers crossed this week is better …. Keeping busy helps.
