Okay, so over the past few weeks my hamsters have been fighting for dominance over the other, and mounting etc. Having previously kept gerbils that used to do this, i thought it wasn't a big issue as they soon work around it. However, after getting in from my gym session today, I came to check on my babies and find that one of them has killed the other. I'm not going to write in detail the sight, as he also became rather cannibalistic in his murder, but let's just say I threw up at least three times whilst trying to get his corpse out of the cage, and cleansing the cage. My other hamster Theodore seems really distraught too, which just makes this heart breaking. He came out of his house looking for his mate, and then I think it clicked what had happened and his eyes just changed.
RIP my little baby, mummy loves you lots and lots. xxx
