This was Strawberry: 2000-2003

Here is our well-loved friend Strawberry Q. Hamster:

She got sick yesterday and passed away about 2:00AM Eastern time in my wife's arms.

Here are some more pictures from this Summer - please scroll through and notice how beautiful she is / was

I think we kept the house too cold - don't do that friends - keep your rodents warm.

We appreciate prayers for Strawberry and every living thing that passed and passes on.

Thanks,

Petecart

Well imo 3 years is about how long a hamster/mouse is likley to live anyway.

Also, the best(Cheapest) way to keep a rodent warm is to have more than one rodent...

Wow, what a sweet little thing. That is sad, I know. Our son's hamster (Angel...whom we later found out to be Angelino...) developed thyroid cancer, if you can believe that! We had to have him put down. My dc have really had a hard time with that. I know Strawberry will be missed.

Good Call My Friend - rodent heated by rodent - I like it.

Thanks.

I used to have pet mice for about 4 years.

The only thing that sucked about them is that once they matured they very rarley came out to play during the day. The young ones are fun though.

Imagine 5 mice trying to run in an excercise wheel in different directions...ther 3 or 4 eventualy overpower the other 2 or 1 and they end up getting spun around the other way. One of the funniest things I ever saw.

That is a very funny image - the mice all running aboot in different directions - it cheered me up to think about it and for that I thank you a lot.

It's weird to be a meat-eating, Scarface quoting man who sits at his desk at work crying about a little hammy - but I don't care.

Here's one more nice photo.

perhaps twizzlers weren't the best dietary choice?

very cute though - RIP Strawberry

Couldn't bear the thought of another Vermont winter I guess.

Twizzlers are only for goats!

wolf · 12-05-2003, 12:51 AM

And ferrets.

insoluble · 12-05-2003, 12:55 AM

I thought aluminum cans were for goats and twizzlers were for fishes.

Aw, how adorable! Poor thing.

Sorry to hear of your loss, especially to such a cute little fuzzy.

Isn't it amazing that we have such an amazing capacity for love and hate?

I just wanted to point out that CPR is much more successful when you stick to the AHA guidelines instead of performing compressions on the back.

Sorry sorry sorry - couldn't help it
