Peepers Passes

Peepers, the female of the pair I adopted in June 2009, has passed.  She had passed in one of her cardboard tubes.  She was just under 2 years old.

She was a curious little girl that seemed to really love her digs.  She was unusual in that she didn't seem to run on her wheel so much, unlike her former mate, Poppers, who is a marathon runner.

Syrian hamsters (these are all of the larger species of hamster sold in pet stores) are solitary animals, but she leaves behind her former cage mate Poppers.

Rest in peace little girl.
