yea, she died in the worst possible day, school trip day. we were downhill skiing, it should have been the perfect day, but then i came home and mom told me that Luna died. it was fast, i cried half an hour, put her in her coffin, dug her a grave, made her a gravestone and then i posted here about its death. and i knew that she was gonna die anytime soon because she didnt breath well, i didnt take care of her too badly,i washed her everyday, i moved his cage every evening, i accidentally dropped her many times but at least i know to treat Nemo better. btw, dont use Vitacoat with your hamsters, it smells so strong, that it makes breathing problems to'em.
You live, you learn. Everyone makes mistakes. My old hamster Petr (picture included), I dropped him by accident the first night I had him. He was only a baby, landed on his head too, on a wooden floor, he lived, he was shocked at first but thankfully he was completely fine. Accidents just happen, you just know for the next time what to do differently. As long as you can say to yourself "I looked after this pet as best as I possibly could" then you're a great person and your hamster would of had a good life. Death is sad, but we all move on, and you need to give your love to other pets who need you too =)
These are my old hamsters. Petr the white one and Sheva's the grey one. Brothers. I looked after them well and they had a great big two story cage, sadly they both died young of the same thing. Some kind of stomach gland disease, which made me feel guilty but I was with them as they both died (months apart) so I feel good about that at least.
