Sad about my Terry

Tweet

I used to have 2 hamster, Terry and Troy. Troy died about 2months ago. I was too sad as Terry was left alone. Eversince Troy died. I seem to neglect Terry a lot. My mum who adopt her after i get too busy with works and kids. My mother called about an hour ago, just to tell me that Terry can't seem to stand. She thought Terry probably got biten by an ants. I was too horrified and felt guilty. I know Terry must have been old. She's about 3yrs old now. But i felt terrible about not being able to care for her after Troy died. Her little cage is not that clean anymore as it used to be. I know i may lose her tomorrow. My mum told me she's probably not goin to make it tonight. I don't know if i ever have another hamsters as pets anymore. It's always hard for me to see them go. She asked me to buy another two again. :( I don't think I can. I always love their kinds. They are so adorable and keep playing around. But to see them go is really hard. Does Hamster have little life span? I was always told by mum to buy another male hamster so Terry will be happy again. Are they (hamsters) choosey with their mates? Terry always get pregnant, but she ate all her babies! I was told they need to be separated in cage in case, but how will they survive without their mother?
