Baggins' Full Write Up
Hello again, readers,
Today we wanted to write a post about a previous resident hybrid dwarf hamster - Baggins. This will be the first of multiple posts like this (until we run out of write-ups, anyway) about some of our residents who're no longer with us. We recently wrote an explanation on why we're doing posts like this.
Baggins was only with us for a short amount of time, it's always deeply upsetting when that happens. We always hope our residents will be with us for a long very time, but sadly with most smaller furries, that rarely happens.
When he arrived, we couldn't be certain of his age. We would've estimated him to have been over 1 years old, but how much older was never really clear to us. In his previous home, Baggins had been left with no enrichment or interaction, he was barely within the correct weight (borderline underweight), and had been living with an infected scent gland for some time.
As soon as Baggins had space to run, toys to play with, a specific diet for Dwarf Hamsters, and a fully treated infection (a number of things), he became a fun and loving little guy. Baggins absolutely adored running across a play pen, a bed - anywhere he could sprint at full speed.
Unexpectedly, Baggins peacefully passed away one morning. We can't say what was the cause behind his death, possibly age, it could've been a secondary infection. We don't know.
However, what is most important, is knowing Baggins had the absolute best end to his life he could've possibly had.
Baggins crossed the rainbow bridge on 17th August 2016.
