One of the baby hammies just died.
I don't know why.
I heard the hamster fighting and got annoyed. So I switched on the lights and looked into their cage. The mama hammie was chasing another baby hammie around and that hammie was making all the noise. I poked them quiet and realised that one of the hammies was missing.
Missing hammie was found under one of the playhouses and I thought she was sleeping. But she didn't even pip when I nudged her and I sensed something wrong. Her body was frozen, in a ball, frigid.
I didn't really much of an attachment to this batch of hamsters as I did with others, but the thought of death kind of depresses me.
The irony of the situation is that I just finished watching the latest episodes of Ghost Whisperer, the central theme of the show being death, and there was an episode where a hamster made a cameo appearance. A creepy sort of foreshadowing.
The sad thing is that... I may easily forget how sad I felt when I discovered the dead hamster. Even now, as I type, my sadness fades into a sort of nonchalance.
