So I feel like I can finaly post this without crying. Last week was my first week of my junior year of college. I just got my first bunny Honey 2 days before I moved into my new apartment and the problems seemed to start right off the bat. Honey had to go to the vet because she has lice which was stressful enough let alone all the surprise start up bills from the apartment. On Tuesday I had the worst morning ever. I had finished getting ready and wss going to bid my dwarf chinese hamster Pippin a good morning when I noticed he was still in his tube. I freaked out and was crying because I knew he was dead by the position he was in having had many hamsters before. I sent him home with my mom when she came to visit me on thursday so he could have a proper burial like all my other hamsters. Even though I still have Honey to love she is still a baby and not as cuddly and easy to handle as Pippin (actually none of my past hamsters were as easy to handle or cuddle as him ). It isna little weird now because while Pippin was the smallest hamste being the only dwarf he was the loudest at night and my room feels off not having tht constant chatter or wheel sounds.Im trying to bond more with Honey but am still new to bun ownership so it is slow goi g and a bit foreign to me since im a hamster girl ( 7 hamsters over 10 years) I have decided to not get another hamster for a bit since im short on money and time thanks to school, the apartment and Honey but I still feel like something is missing from my life . I know I should be used to this pain since hamsters live such short lives but every 2 3 or 4 years depending on how many years they bless me with it always feels the same. To be fair Pippin should have by right died alast year when I got him since he had a near death experience that I brought him back from at the last minute, he also had hurt himself this summer which should have killed him as well but he lived through it all. Maybe tht is why this passing hurts so much, since he cheated death so much tht it seemed like he wouldnt die in a way or at least not now.
