Re: Animal pictures?
You don't expect animal lovers to have immaculate nails.

Re: Animal pictures?
Lol thank you, very true!
My hamster passed away in the early hours of this morning :( He was very old, was a rescue, I had to feed him with a dropper when I first got him. I like to think I gave him a good life as far as captive hamsters go. I think they're my favourite little animal. |
Re: Animal pictures?
How old is very old. Hamsters only have a short lifespan. We had one it lived for three years and died in my wife's hand.

Re: Animal pictures?
3 years is good! :)
1000 days so I hear is what they are meant to live up until. Well he was an unwanted runt of the litter when I got him, had had wet tail thus my having to nurse him, and due to him being a rescue I don't know how old he was-but he wasn't a baby then. I've had him at least two years, and due to ill-health I didn't expect him to last this long. A few weeks ago I moved him from his large cage, into a normal hamster cage-because he wasn't as agile as he used to be so I was scared of him falling and hurting himself, plus he was sleeping most of the time anyway, I knew he was deteriorating. That picture was a couple of months ago, though in hamster 'years' I am supposing it may have been compatible to ten years ago! He was sleeping all day the other day and I checked on him and his breathing had slowed down but he was peaceful. I put the room warmer and moved food and water closer to him, he woke briefly and I stroked him and he was okay. When I returned from work this morning he was in the same position, but had gone. It's sad but I've rescued so many animals that I'm a bit 'harder' about death-I'm not devastated or anything, he had a long life and I think about how many people treat little animals and feel I did the best I could do :) |

I found this young grey squirrel on tarmac, must have fallen out of a tree and died. I put it on a shed roof and a crow had it for lunch! ;)

I suppose you didn't have any chickens when you were throwing out carcasses for the foxes. |

Yes, we had forty chickens at one time - we used to throw any that died over into the copse. Only once had a problem with foxes killing any of our live chickens. |
