King,one of the most hard-to-tame campbell,most stubborn of all my campbell is gone....i got him from a breeder who owns more than 200 hamsters....in King's life,he has quite a number of owner....each of em intending to tame him,but each of em has failed....he was in the end passed to me from his original owner to keep him.He was abt 3 months plus old then,& becos of his stubornness & his characteristic of "not-willing-to-give-in" i named him King.....

In his life with me,i went thru many bitten moments with this guy,but nevertheless,i still love him....becos of Elna,i learned not to give up a stubborn hamster like him & after sometime with him....i realise something....he distrust human hands....he must have been having a miserable life with his other owners who atttempt to tame him base on his hatred for humans....

Gradually as time goes by,i've earned his trust....& he actually only allow ME to hand carry him....all my friends who came to my place who attempt to carry him sure would get a few bites from him....& i've brought him to a couple of gathering in his lifetime.And the only person who is tactical enogh to hand-carry him besides myself is Animosity....

He has a bad time in his 1st half of his life....& his other half i dare says here is not-too-bad...as he has gradually learn to trust humans again....a couple of months back he has a lump on his eye....but together,we have manage to overcome it ....with his undying willpower,he manage to escape daeth that time which most hamsters wouldn't be able to make it.

Today,when i came home,he wasn't well & is struggling to live....I had a bad feeling.....i try my best,with anti biotic,clean up his cage,sand bath him.....but around 230 am....he is gone,leaving behind some of his friends,the 3 little Pig,Luke,Da Dan & BaoBao....haiz....he is gone....

i'm really at my lost of words now.....what i wish to say has been said & u heard it....go,King....go join Paul & Elna....go join the rest in Rainbow Bridge....& i will continue to learn each day....to help the rest of the hamsters in this world,to lead a healthy & fruitful life with their owners....this i promise.

Go in peace,my friend.....go in peace......

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! KING is GONE!!!!

ghost > r u ok or not? hope u r not devastated by so many death within a week. it's a great shock for a pet lover to handle.

do take care ya? dun be too sad...

[ghost]

Ya,he is gone....& seriously,i almost cannot take it liao....i'm still expecting the 4th one,which is Luke....really very tired....very very tired....

The cause of King's death is really puzzling....& i'm working on it at the same time trying to get over it....

I think besides jus dying due to being very old,his Kidney could have failed functioning which causes his death....plus he also got one of his Cheek pouch being very Big too....only one side of it....his upper body becomes paralyzed,only the lower part of his body & legs keeps kicking....

haiz....looks like this few days me is going to hve sleepless night....

[puppy]

oh gosh!!!!

dun let this affect ur work ah... u still got many hamsters to look after...

i know how u feel. esp when the death is not only due to old age. when my hamster pass away, i cried my heart out ah.

so what did u do to them? bury? i buried mine downstairs outside my window. so when i miss her, i still can see her.

do take care k? try to get some sleep.

[ghost]

Put them in a box...bring downstairs to cremate them..... I'm looking for some answers around now tho....i really didn't expect King would jus go like that....at least not so soon....but.....

Thanks,puppy....

[puppy]

haiz... dun think so much... go get some rest 1st... take care...

[fairysaint]

Ya ghost must take care. It's really came too big a surprise to hear that.

[chirpyger]

be strong ghost!!

my condolences once again..

hope king wil be happy at rainbows' bridge with all his other buddies..

Losing a hamster once every two days.It must have been hard on you,ghost.Take care & be strong,as you still have other hamsters waiting for your care.I have seen King before,i thought after his lump on his eyes was cured,he should be leading a longer life.Never expect King also gone.

My condolences.

Aiyo.... Could there be some infection going around? I don't know. Poor King.
But for the old folks, I guess its ok... since all 3 are siblings, so i guess their lifespan should be around the same. 2 yrs and 2 mths is very long liao! But of course if still hurts...

My deepest condolence, Ghost......

My condolence

Could it be a disease that can spread?
*Touch Wood*

Could it be the 3 of them have promise to leave together so that they able to leave hand-in-hand?

Actually my hammies dying in consecutive month.
Fortunately it stops now.

May all ur other hammies (include Luke) live for few more years.

I don't know....i'm now doing some small investigation on King's death....his cage smells,even after he passaway....& do u believe,i jus clean up his cage 3 hours before he passaway...new water,with anti-biotic & another one with normal boiled water....normal minimal hamsters mix.....hmm....
