Goodbye Roxas...

I went to see Roxas afterschool today. I thought it was weird how he didnt wake up when Martin picked up the cage, or when we pet him. He was breathing & sleeping... but he was shaking a bit. That got me worried, but I thought he was just jittery or something. At around 8PM Martin call's me to tell me Roxas passed away... I was shocked, and a bit heartbroken. We barely had him for a day & he's already gone? He didnt seem to be sick yesterday, he seemed fine. I watched him carefully just to make sure since baby dwarf hamsters are commonly sick from just about anything & everything was fine. His poop was normal, he was peeing, playing, eating, drinking, everything. So I dont understand what could have gone wrong. Martin said that he picked him up & wiped up the poo stuck in his butt & three more fell out. Could that have been the cause? I dont really know what happened. It really sucks.

I am of course going to Petco tomorrow to speak with the store manager & bring Roxas with us. This isnt fair. Not to us, and not to Roxas! People have reported them for having Wet Tail in their cages & all this other stuff... and how poorly they take care of their animals... and this big animal company was suing them for it. You would think they would shapen up! But I guess not. How sad. I hope they do something to fix this, or I'm gonna be really pissed & report them as well.






On a lighter note, Flix hasnt chewed on the cage once since he's been in there in the passed 2 days :) I'm keeping a really really close eye on him in case he gets sick. I really wanna get new cages cause Hammie was in the one he's in now & I dont know exactly what was wrong with her... I just want him to be safe & healthy...
