Donating YT 7000 Club Member | :( I'm sad. I came home and went upstairs to put some clothes away and I went over to check on my hamster, Noelle. and she was dead. I know you guys are probably like "freak. it's just a hamster." but I got her 2 1/2 years ago (on Christmas eve, hence the name Noelle) I'm really sad.

| I'm so sorry for you loss. I had a guinea pig and he died about 5 months ago. I was devastated because I was just so used to him being around the house. It doesn't matter what they are what matters is how much they mean to you. I cried when my guinea pig died and I blamed myself because I didn't check up on him that morning. When my BF woke up he found him laying down and he knew something was wrong. My guinea pig even went to the vet. |

| I know how you feel Megan. When I lost my Guinea Pig, Dusty, I was heart broken. Rest in peace little Noelle.

| I'm so sorry Megan!! Its hard to lose a family member. I get sad when my fish dies. Did Noelle pass due to old age? Is 21/2 years a long life for a hamster?

| Hamsters and gerbils life spans are generally two years. they're lucky to live longer. I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish there were something I could do. and Guinea Pigs life spans are 6-8 years.

| You must have been a great Mommy to your little Noelle if she lived that long. We lost Alphalfa Sprout (guinea pig) and L.L. Cool Ham (hamster) shortly after that just before we moved here in April. Last week Fred (carinval gold fish that was every color but gold) tried to make a break for the pond a couple blocks from here but only got as far as the throw rug and got tangled in the fringe. We looked all over the place for him before we found him. He blended in perfectly. Losing any pet is sad because it has made a special place in your heart and then that special little piece is broken off. You should never feel like a "freak" and no one who loves animals will think of you or anyone else that way for grieving the loss of a pet. I have cried over losing fish, mice, gerbils, hamsters, rabbits, guinea pigs (we had one for about 11 years and he was grown when we got him), cats, dogs, racoons, birds, crabs, turtles, and other wild animals. If you love an animal enough to raise it and be responsible for it's life, then that creature deserves to be missed and grieved over. God will be watching over Noelle now. God Bless you Megan.

Great post... I'm so sorry for your loss Megan. I loved hamsters when I was younger (I had 6 of them!!!), so I understand how you're feeling.

| Oh Megan, I am so sorry that Noelle died. It does sound like you gave her a good life, though. No one thinks you are strange for being upset, I cried when the fish in my outside pond died. We tend to always feel like it is our fault for some reason. Give your pup extra hugs & kisses. It will help you get through your sadness. |
