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

It’s rare that smaller mammals really good the love and attention they deserve as pets. They get 2nd class pet status and are all too often the neglected starter pet of spoiled children. You gave Biggs so much love and I’m sure they were so grateful they ended up as your hamster.

This is awful. Biggs was special and will be missed by all.

I remember when you announced that you were going to adopt him. It's clear that he had an awesome life with you. We'll miss seeing pictures of the little guy. cri

Aww poor little guy. He brought a lot of joy to a lot of people.

I hope you name the next little one Wedge or Jessie in his memory.

(i never actually named biggs. i got him from a hamster rescue and i don't like the idea of giving a hamster a new name like that)
