Question
Sorry to bother you again and i kind know that my hamster is dead but its doesnt feel right she shouldnt have died. Can a hamster blame? Can it think "ohh i'm in pain and am about to die because of you paul"? anyway i would like anyones input to how i can get over her death. Also Lauren i still would like to know how she died even though i cant bring her back i need to blame something even if its me.

Answer
Hi Paul, I'm sorry to hear about your loss.  I was looking through my old answered questions and I can't find your original problem so I'm not sure how she died.  If you can remind me maybe I can help shed some light on that.  I'm not sure hamsters blame, I think that's strictly a human characteristic.  If you did your best, try not to worry about it too much though I know that's easier said than done.  Give yourself some time before getting a new one but know that starting over may help you move on.
