Should i move on from my hamsters death and get a new pet?

Question

i just lost my pet hamster of 2 years. is it to early to move on?

Answer 1

ya, get a dog or something though

Answer 2

As a human your life-span is likely to be at least 40+ years.

A rodents life-span is A  LOT less than yours.  

Bottom Line:  Pets are great. They are comforting, and anybody lucky enough to experience the way it feels to have another creature depend on you; and the way it feels when  it recieves and responds to your affection; knows how you feel.  

You should move on when you feel that you are ready to be responsible for a new pet; whatever type it may be.

Just research it first, know your responsiblities, and be responsible about it.

Answer 3

yes, you should get a new pet, it will help you move on..if you like things small and furry i would recomend a ferret or a fancy rat.

im sorry and good luck

Answer 4

dont worry, when my cat passed on tragically, i got a new cat not even 24 hours after her death. it does seem harsh, but if u get a new pet, it will take your mind off of your old one.

Answer 5

no you should mourn over it for as lon as possible(jk)

Answer 6

of course. dont stay stuck in the past...........move on. try a new pet................like a mouse or gerbil! =)

Answer 7

Yeah, I know it is hard. My dwarf died when she was only eight months old. You should take as long as you want to get a knew hamster, it took me almost half a year...

Answer 8

sorry for your loss, of course get a new pet... it will be someone to love u back when ur sad.

Answer 9

I think the earlier the better...you went get caught up on grieving if you get a new pet. If you wait it out in the end you might never recover.so get a new pet and you'l see how fast you progress. I should know...i lost my pet too

Answer 10

Answer 11

Answer 12

Yes, get another one, it will replace that void.

Answer 13

Don't think as the pet to replace it. You can get a new one it will help you move on. Get a new pet. Its never to early to move on, whatever helps you out.

Answer 14

Answer 15

I just losy my baby  in Feb.'

I really thought she was invisible.

She was an amazing companinon.

I cry at night when I know she's not next to me.

I know she's in heaven. She lived a good life. I do smile about that.

I ♥ u Albert♥

Funny, a lot of things are coming my way..and she was suppose to be here to celebrate it with me, but she isn't here.

YES! definitely get another little companion.

He/she will brighten up your day,

I adopted a little fella.

He is the joy of my life, and though he'll never replace Albert, I am thankful to have him with me.

Good luck!
