Answer 1

Aw I'm sorry. The last of my four mice died last night.

Hamsters only really live 1-3 years. 3 years is pretty impressive. My first hamster was also 1 and a half when he died, my second was 2. Don't feel bad, they really don't live long!

I haven't yet buried my mouse - I've got to find a place in my garden which has 6 rodent, 4 fish and 1 cat grave in it! Just find a corner in your garden, you only really need a 6 inch grave. There are lots of foxes in my area and I've never had a problem with rodent graves - some disturbance of my cat's grave at first, but there are rocks on that so no problem, Put some stones on top of your hamster's grave if you're worried.

I also had a couple of rodents (mine and friend's) die while I was at uni - we buried them under a tree in the grounds of the campus, and one we dug a hole in the earth outside my friend's window! I don't think anyone is really going to object to a tiny little rodent grave.

You'll feel better in time and I'm sure you'll want to get more rodent pets. I already know I'll get more mice. If this is your first hamster, know that keeping rodents is a constant learning process - I cringe when I think how I kept my first hamster at first - on cedar or pine sawdust (which should NEVER be used for any rodents) and I used to use household detergents to clean the cage - you should only use special phenol-free pet detergents! Plus I used to feed him on whatever rodent mix I most liked the look of - they need to be fed on proper hamster mix! He went half bald within the first 6 months of his life and his fur never grew back despite vet treatment. I learned a lot of lessons about rodent husbandry (care) from my first couple of rodents and now the rodents I keep today benefit from that!

Please do not ever try to mate a hamster. There are actually thousands of undesirable ones in the market on this planet and simply given that any person thinks it is cool to look at it does not warrant you the proper to make a host of animals undergo. If that is the one cause your considering getting them then do not. Your most likely now not in charge sufficient to manage them. As I've stated earlier than; hamsters are not toys. They are not play matters on your amusement. They are animals and deserve the equal admire as your cat or puppy and in case your inclined to reproduce a hamster cross forward and breed your cat or puppy. Oh wait; it was once by and large neutered in order that it could not to avert a flood of undesirable animals into the sector. Don't ever ever ever ever ever try to breed an animal. You must go away that to the certified specialists. That's why they're certified and that's why they're specialists. Because thay know the way to manage them and they are able to discover properties for them earlier than they have got even been born. If you have not even owned a hamster but then you should not. And if the very first thing your going to invite is approximately whether or not or now not they will kill each and every different when they breed you then must not ever get one.

Hamsters and small animals often die without knowing the cause. I'm sorry for your loss no matter if your pet is large or small it's hard when you are close to your pet.

You can bury him in the yard if you have one. Just be sure it's not too close to the surface as you don't want some animal digging him up. If you don't have a yard perhaps you have a friend who would allow you to bury him in their yard? If you don't have anywhere to bury him you might just wrap him up in a shoe box or something before he heads to the landfill.

I am so sorry for your little friend dying. Hamsters only live at most 2 or 3 years so yours died a little young. You can bury him in your back yard and say a little prayer if it makes you feel better.

Also - go get a new hamster real soon!!

Answer 6

put him in a baggie, then a little plastic container airtight, and bury him. I had one that died at 7 months from a disease called wet tail, and it only took 1 and a half days and i took her to the vet and she died there, so i know how u feel, please don't be too sad, and go get yourself another at petsmart, use only aspen or super shavins for bedding.

Bury him in your back yard.
