Uh, uh, alright. Damn it. I'm so devastated by this.

I would double-check their estimated lifespan, their cost, and do the math before embarking on that pattern of response.

Damn!
Buster, our hamster just died.
We’ve had him like 4 years and my 6 yr old is very upset.

Sorry to hear this.

I heard they hibernate. Chat GPT says:

Most hamsters don’t truly hibernate, but some species can enter a state of torpor (a short-term, light hibernation-like state) when exposed to cold temperatures and reduced daylight — typically below 50°F (10°C).

Key Details:

• Time of Year: In the wild, this usually happens in late fall to winter (October–February), depending on the climate.
• Domestic Hamsters: In captivity, if their environment gets too cold or dark in winter, they might enter torpor, which can look like deep sleep or even death.
• Species: Syrian hamsters are more prone to torpor than dwarf breeds, but it’s not normal or healthy for any pet hamster to hibernate.

Bottom Line:

If your hamster appears to be hibernating, it’s likely a response to cold or stress, not natural behavior — and it can be life-threatening. Keep the habitat above 65°F (18°C) with a regular light cycle to prevent it.

He said he wants to just play with him one more time.

He’s been sick the last few days

 

[knoxvol52]

He said he wants to just play with him one more time.

Understood. I cried like a baby when my dad backed up over my puppy when I was 7 but the next day he brought me a new one and I forgot about the other one in a second...

 

[CobbWebb71]

This one is gonna cost me something, that’s for certain.

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

….twss…

You mean to say 52 missed that one?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

That's how you do it. Break up w/a chick & have another one in less than 24 hrs.

How did you know this? They have something to test hamsters for being sick?
