#my siblings' two hamsters died very suddenly of illnesses and they both died at the vet

today i dreamt that my i found my hamster now, a year later, and that she was somehow still alive and absolutely thriving on her own

#she'd bitten a hole in her enclosure to get food #she'd be three years old at this point i have a hard time imagining her #being very energetic lmao #i've been thinking about getting a new hamster but #them having such short lifespans was way harder to deal with than i thought #like she reached like 1 and 1.5 and all i could think about was that she could die at any moment #she didn't die unexpectedly though which like. doesn't sound good lmao but #my siblings' two hamsters died very suddenly of illnesses and they both died at the vet #but my hamster probably just kind of died of old age tbh #she was 2 years old and she'd been visibly aging #i don't think she was suffering too much the weeks before though she was just less mobile #i literally hate how people joke about hamsters never dying in normal ways because like. #we've had three hamsters and they've died of illness. and of age #because we actually TOOK CARE OF THEM #i refuse to believe that even half of the hamsters that have died under abnormal circumstances #didn't die because the human taking care of them did so pretty poorly #i mean hamsters are really fragile escape artists so i get that #sometimes things just happen right but............
