Well, Squeak passed away sometime on October 17th, 2011. He was my last Russian Dwarf Hamster that I was taking care of. First I bought Olly, then after Olly died, I bought two Russian Dwarfs to fill the void. But then I was gifted 2 cats as a Christmas gift so that was hard keeping the cats away from the hamster. I named the two hamsters Pip and Squeak, creating PipSqueak when said together. Pip got sick months ago and I took him to the small animal vet. They told me he had a disease so I made the tough decision to end his suffering. So then I only had Squeak left. And Squeak lived about 1 year and 3 months. Well, I’m sorry if I wasn’t a very good hamster mom. I tried my best to take care of them the best I knew how. They were cute little things but now since I have 2 cats for years to come I don’t think I’ll be taking on any more hamsters. It’s too hard to keep the animals apart so the hamster doesn’t get eaten. My cats would swat at the glass aquarium cages where the hamsters lived.

RIP little hammies. You will be missed.
