(I posted a few days ago that he was very sick) I've never really had a real pet besides for him, but I love animals. What do I do now? I'm sad and I miss him... If I get a new one... I just don't want to feel like I'm replacing him, you know?

Replies bloundybab11 Posted at 10:21 am on Jan. 10, 2009 i have alot of pets and the best thing to do is wait awile until you get use to the fact that your pet is gone and you have to accept that!so good luck with that! Disposition Posted at 10:20 am on Jan. 10, 2009 Quote: from Tavis at 1:16 pm on Jan. 10, 2009 You have my condolences on the passing of your hamster. I had a small animal similar to a Guinea Pig die only a month and a half ago. I cried, even though I only had him for half a year.   Because of my dad, we didn't get another one. I would have wanted to, but he just flat out said not another one, because he thought it was stupid in the first place. I didn't argue much, and just went on with life. I'm fine now. I was sad for a few days, but then, I just realized that he isn't going to be around. I don't know if you would be able to let go that easy, because if so, I personally found it was not that hard not having one to care about anymore, but you might be even more emotionally attached, and want another. I would say don't get another one yet, let the old one's thought in your mind have peace first. Give it a month or two. Thanks for your advice.

HeavenAndHell Posted at 10:11 am on Jan. 10, 2009 Get a different type of animal, maybe one which is more exciting than a hamster (not that I'm insulting your hamster lol). Cyanotype Posted at 10:09 am on Jan. 10, 2009 A new pet. TomNsR Posted at 10:08 am on Jan. 10, 2009 Get a dog. My friend sat on his hamster and killed it. He also broke another ones's leg by moving a sofa onto it by mistake. He has bad luck with rodents. ieshiachantel Posted at 10:06 am on Jan. 10, 2009 awww 2 years shseesh your hamster lasted well , mine died pretty soon but i rmeeber being reli upset and crying bout it, you could get a new one but they dont last long maybe get a dog r something scandalousx3 Posted at 10:05 am on Jan. 10, 2009 get a new different kind of pet it will make you happy in the mean time!
