At the age of about 18 months, my little rodent went away quietly in his sleep, as I have now learned cleaning his enclosure this morning. I know hamsters have such tragically short lifespans, yet it never makes the pain of saying goodbye any easier

I barely woke up an hour ago and don't really know what to say right now, but everyone here deserves to be in the know. You all have been so kind to Biggs and I. I only had him for a year and two whole days but they were special to me and special to a shocking amount of people on this website

I'm so sorry. meow-hug

The little dudes are so charming and lovely, but they live such brief lives. I used to keep rats, it hurt terribly each time one passed. I'm sorry that Biggs passed.

Oh honestly I couldn't imagine having to deal with rats. They really are such sweet creatures but they live just as long as hamsters, but they're not solitary. I couldn't imagine having to deal with so many losses like with little rats

Biggs marks hamster #4 for me though, and it really doesn't hurt any less than any of the other 3. Maybe I'll post them sometime around here

[-] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago

I'd like to see them whenever you feel up to sharing.

Rodents are rough. They're so easy to make happy, so cute, so affectionate. And so short-lived. Sorry for your loss. meow-hug

Is there still time to extract his seed to secure his legacy for the homeland?

I'm so sorry man, losing a pet is always hard. I'm wishing you the best.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

my syrian is a bit over two years old, is probably about to kick the bucket, and has recently developed major diabetes as evidenced by his pissing everywhere in massive quantities. never did scrape together the money to build that bioactive enclosure like i said i would.

solidarity to you and biggs, i am glad that he went out peacefully amid all the violence occurring in the world today.

Rest in peace Biggs. You were my favorite hamster of all time and always made my day brighter whenever your photo appeared on this silly little website.

Thank you for taking care of our little comrade and hope Bigg's passing isn't too painful. I'm sure you made Bigg's life filled with joy and tasty snacks.

The end of an Era

Comrade Biggs rests, and we will continue their work.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

Good night dear Biggs. Though I only knew you a short time, seeing my name nested amidst the catalog of your friends was a rare honor and always brought me joy. Until today when it beings me sadness.

Still my life is richer for having you as a part of it. So I write one last time with heavy heart and deep regret BIGGS!!!!!!!

[-] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago

I’m so sorry to hear that. I’ve always enjoyed your posts showing what Biggs was up to. I’m glad he went peacefully at least
