My wonderful hamster, Muffin, died today at around 5:00. She was 2 and a half years old, which is a ripe old age for a hammy. She was wonderful, even if she loved to chew on her bars at night and keep me awake. She hardly ever bit and was very tame. We took her to the vets because her eyes crusted up and she had become very fat. The vet said that she most likely had cancer. We've just buried her.
Here is a picture of her in a tiny Santa hat last Christmas .
