Many small rodents just do that. He may have been old when you got him. He may have never been 100% healthy. He may have caught some rodent-prone virus. Who knows?
Tiny pets tend to die suddenly and unexpectedly. It hurts, I know. I used to keep mice and it always hurt when one would die.

Most small rodents that are kept as pets usually only live 2-3 years at the most. I am not sure why, but just the life cycle. I am sorry for your loss. My guinea pig died by accident years ago. Hope you feel better soon.

I had a guinea pig in 1987. I bought it at WalMart. It got sick and I took it to a vet that specialized in "critters" ~ Small animals. He said she had an ear infection and tried to treat her. She died before my check cleared the bank! I was holding her and when they die...their bladder muscles relax. I had a dead guinea pig pee an me!
RIP Sable 1987-1987

i'm sorry. If it will make you feel any better mine died a few weeks ago. It broke its back and could'nt walk because his cage fell over. He had to be put to sleep. Your could of had a desise or just died some how
