I'm Really Sad. Forget how sad I was before this. Seriously.. this is x200 worse. Even more.

On June 16th, My cute little hamster was sleeping so peacefully in the corner of his tank and then.. *. Heres what happened: I was trying to fix a plastic crawling tube that was broken.. I lost grip of the tube, it slid really forcefully and crashd into my hamster. He was in lots of pain. His eye was bleeding. I was crying so much.. I never stopped crying. Bijou wouldn't eat, or drink so he was getting weaker, and weaker. He was also loosing a lot of weight. He was freezing too, no matter how much I warmed him up. I let him sleep on a warm water bottle (the ones that are soft and they aren't like normal water bottles, they are like rubber if you know what I mean) With a few cloths over him. He was still freezing. I held him up to me to keep him warmer because of my body heat.. well nothing worked. I tried and tried to keep him alive and healthy.. but nothing would work. My mom refused to take him to the vet clinic.. I really wish she would have. I really do. Days and days passed. Everyday after school I would be so scared to come home because he may have gotten worse and.. you know. The eighth day.. I came home from school.. and I cried and cried.. he was laying there lifeless.. cold, and.. dead. I cry every night. I am so sad. I will never have another hamster like him. He will always be in my heart.

YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART.. I LOVE YOU

That's so sad...and heartthrobbing. Your mom really should've brought him to the vet.

How old was he when he died? (As in how many year or months in human years?)

Aw, that really is sad. I can see that you really loved and cared for him. Well, atleast the time you've spent with him will never be forgotten.

Actually, I'm not quite sure how old he was. I got him for free on a site called http://kijiji.ca/ . They have an american version also if you want to check it out. I'm guessing he was about 2 1/2 . I've had him since August last year.. and he died in June this year so I didn't quite have him for a year or even more. I don't think he was very old when I got him. He wasn't a very very active hamster, so he could've already been about two. So... who knows? He couldv'e even been 3 years.

I guess its not so bad that he died bcause they only live 2-3 years anyway,,but then again it wasn't supposed to be his time yet and he looked pretty healthy before it happened so he could've had another year left in him .

But why doesn't your mom want you to get another hamster?

She does? I didn't say that ... lol. I have 2 named blackie & cookie.

Woops. Sorry, I must've meant why didn't she let you take him to the vet.

Oh haha okay. She said he doesn't want to pay a bunch of money for nothing, she thinks that the vet wouldn't do anything (but they can!).

I know. Some really don't do anything, but most can do wonders.
