I recently learned about how hamsters die in bizarre ways after finding a subreddit.

[makoyyy]

I have never had an interest in taking care of hamsters, and I recently found a place that shares stories about all the bizarre ways a hamster dies.

I literally didn't know what these creatures are capable of lmao. ?
reading these stories from r/hamsters_deaths
makes me laugh, sad, and both all at the same time... It's incredibly funny.

I also learned there's this joke urban legend now about how hamsters aren't supposed to die normally and peacefully from old age (around 2-4 years)

? A toast to all hamsters that R.I.P. to early. ?

also here's another reddit thread that has a lot of stories. ?

Mine died in a weird way, she was gone for like 3 weeks and then she randomly came out one day and we put her back in the cage (a very big one) and she immediately died

The way mine died was rather strange, about 3 weeks had passed and one day she appeared out of nowhere, we put her back in her cage (a very large one) and she passed away immediately.

here's another bizare story, not about a hamster, bet a close rodent relative... a few gerbils.
I swear, I keep reading stories about them killing themselves or each other ??

The real reasons (not) hamsters are fated to leave this world is via magic 8ball. ??

 

[makoyyy]

Kids hamster died because he farted so close to it... (he thinks)
might've been the hamster got a heart attack because of the sound shock.? ???

 

[makoyyy]

so this hamster's demise is because it bit its owners hand, and then the kid accidentally flung it into the fireplace. ?



and somehow this it how I saw it in my head happening....
although I was thinking poor hamster, and poor kid.

My hamster, Otto, died last year; he was on his spiny wheel and he ran so fast that it dislocated from the base thingy and he crashed into the walls of his cage

 

[ggfarnill]

i pierced my hamsters ear and it died from the shock

Hamsters literally are an extinct from nature and human captivity is keeping them alive.

Point being "Wet tail" a disease is the primary cause of Hamsters death.

Sad faith for a critter like that. Same with Guinea-Pigs. I remember going to work and somebody left three cages of Guinea-Pigs, with the feeder and everything. I hate seeing a co-worker ( girl ) go nuts over the thing and only find out that it died and she is literally traumatized afterwards.
