Re: Very poorly little hamster


Aww, so sorry to hear this. I agree that there is no such thing as 'only a hamster'. My daughter has 2 syrians, and I know I would be so upset if anything happened to either of them. Sleep tight little Rolo.

Re: Very poorly little hamster


So sorry Rolo lost the fight xxx

My experience of hamsters is that they rarely recover well from such things. No such thing as "only a hamster", they are all creatures who deserve a chance if there is one.

Re: Very poorly little hamster


Thank you so much everyone. I wanted to reply yesterday but everytime I tried my eyes just kept filling with tears

We looked at her yesterday and she had a very severe case of bloat. For whatever reason she suffered a blockage and her intestines filled with food and gas, my poor little girl must have been in pain

I miss her so much, I haven't been able to empty her cage out yet, but at the same time I can't bear to look at it and see it empty of her

RIP my little angel, have fun with the rest xxx

Re: Very poorly little hamster


Poor little Rolo - you must be a very strong person to be able to autopsy your little friend. But I do understand that you had to know the reason.

Sleep sweetly little hamster.

Re: Very poorly little hamster


Poor Rolo. I too think you are brave to autopsy your own pet, but totally understand your need to know. What do you think would cause bloat in a hamster?
