Recently, I came home and my hamster was dead. I thought she was strangely resting in an unusual spot in her cage. I thought, “Huh, why she resting there today?”
When I opened the lid of her bin cage, nope. She wasn’t sleeping. She wasn’t even breathing. She was actually dead.
It took me 4 hours to actually work up the courage to lift her body up and put her in a box. I plan to get rid of most of her stuff for free because I can’t look at it without feeling numb.
Um.. anyway, I live in Nishi Tokyo if that matters. For those who have had pets, especially hamsters, how do you process? What did you do with your pet after they passed away?
I’m worried about going to work too. I have many important events coming up for work yet I literally feel like I’m about to faint. Maybe for some of you, a hamster is no big deal, but she was my only family living here these past years.
Anyway, thank you kindly in advance.

I’m sorry for your loss.
Please contact your municipality, they should have a collection option to cremate your pet.
