Death of hamster

It's probably in July and August. When I was shopping in the flower orchard, I saw some small animals, such as turtles, rabbits, kittens and furry hamsters, on the roadside. My friend urged me to buy a pet. I'm not too cold about raising animals. The main reason is that the place where I live is too small. If I have another cat or dog, I'm afraid of poop, which is quite inconvenient to clean. But it seems good to keep hamsters. Holding the idea that there is a life to live in the same house, at least there is a companion, and I believe in the zodiac and have an indissoluble bond with mice, so I bought a pair of hamsters and kept them in a special cage filled with sawdust and a drip bottle specially used for drinking water for hamsters. Since then, there have been two more tenants in the rented small room. Every morning before I go to work, I will change the water for them and put some sesame seeds, peanuts, rice and other food. After work, I will let them out and crawl around on my desk, and I will hear them chirping at night.

? MengMeng the hamster looks very pleasing, but most of the time, he sleeps in the sawdust pile. I went out to travel with my friends on National Day. Before I left, I filled the whole bottle of water and put a whole box of food. Five days later, when I got home, the first thing I did was to see the hamster. I saw two little heads poking around from the sawdust pile and alive and kicking, and I was relieved.

Life has been very monotonous recently, especially since the National Day. It seems that there are endless things to do. Besides working overtime every day, I still work overtime. I rent a small room of less than 2 square meters in Xiangya Village, which is just a place to lie down and sleep every night.

? Compared with "dwelling in a humble abode" and "ant tribe", I even think that this kind of life I live may be closer to "hamster". Living in a small cage, wearing only a few pieces of tooling, eating is mostly solved in the company cafeteria, and there is not much material desire. The greatest happiness in my heart is that I can sleep under the covers until the sun rises on weekends when I don't work overtime.

? With this comparison, every time I look at the hamster in the cage, I always feel in the same boat.

? With the coming of winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower. I also add a lot of cotton to the cage. Sometimes at night, I will put the cage next to the warm stove and turn it on a little, but I am afraid of heating them. Yesterday, it was a rare sunny day in Guiyang. I thought it should be fine at night, so I didn't turn on the heater.

in the morning, I looked at them again. I accidentally found that one of them didn't come out at all. I took it out and put it in my palm. It looked lazy and depressed. I think it's bad. I think it's frozen.

On the way back at night, I found the air was quite cold. When I got to the room, I turned on the light. As usual, I called the hamster out to eat, but only one of them poked its head out and the other one didn't respond at all. I opened the cage and reached in. As soon as I touched the hamster, my motionless body was a little stiff, but it was clearly dead. I took it out, and the little guy's eyes were closed and his body was curled up into a ball. I couldn't bear to take another look, wrapped it in a paper towel and threw it in the trash can.

? Two hamsters, who accompanied me for three months, died unexpectedly today. Although, a little hamster's life is so small, it still makes me sad for a while. I'm a little worried that the remaining one will leave me, too. I checked it, but fortunately it seems that this one has not been affected. It's just a pity that it will live alone in a small cage like me for the rest of its life.

I'm not sure if it's just a brother who just left? Sisters? Or a spouse? I haven't separated a male from a female in these three months. I guess it should be the same sex. After all, I'm not pregnant. However, if it is a spouse, it is more in line with my logic of this hamster story: one goes first, and the other lives sadly. The hamster can't talk, and its eyes are always MengMeng's, so there is no way to judge what feelings it has when it meets its companion's departure. However, in the future, there will never be an equally furry guy to sleep with, no annoying guy to drink and eat with, and no helper to tear cotton with him to set up a sleeping nest.

? The essence of life is ultimately lonely.
