Yesterday during Small Animal Boot Camp I was busy cleaning everyone's cages and I discovered that either during the night or in the early part of the day Pherb had passed away. I found him curled up with his little eyes shut, so he must have been sleeping and just never woken up. Although this is terribly sad as he was, in my opinion, the best hamster ever, Matt and I suspected that he had reached old age and that he wouldn't last too much longer. We adopted him last summer and so it is impossible to age him. Hamsters are not long-lifers, so it is entirely possible that he simply grew old and died.
I shall miss my dynamic duo, Phinneus and Pherb.
