So, my hamster died today. We've only had him for a month and 2 days, but I'm still really bummed about it. I feel like it's my fault somehow, but I don't know what I did wrong, or what I could have done differently. His cage was in my study, so he was always excited when I was on the computer, he'd run on his wheel or climb up the cage and hang upside down from the top. He was running last night when I was in here, and then I went to bed. He was asleep in his little cave thing this morning when I left for work, then when I came home at 9pm, I peeked in and it looked like he was in the cave thing, so I went in the living room. I came by around 10:30 and looked in and saw a tuft of fur on the bottom of the cage, and then I realized it was him lying stretched out. I tapped on the cage and he didn't move, and I realized he was dead. It happened sometime today, but my wife was home and says she heard him running this afternonn around 4 or 5. I'm sad about this. Our last hamster died a few years ago, and now I buy a new one and he dies too. I feel like I did something wrong, and I'm upset. This sucks.
