So as you probably don't know, I have two hamsters, dwarf hamsters. They were litter mates, always got along. About a week and a half ago, I noticed XL (Xing Lee) was becoming less active. She would rarely come out of the igloo, and it looked like she was starting to hoard food and nest. Today, I look in the cage, and under the water bottle lays Miko, motionless. I looked a little closer and it was clear she had been killed horribly. I'm not going to get into details, but it was very, very, disturbing. (If you want to know exactly what happened, just ask, and I'll say. But otherwise, I don't wanna disturb your day.) It was clear that Xing killed Miko. I went to clean out their cage, it was clear that Xing had been hoarding things and building a nest. I'm thinking she may be pregnant, and close to delivery. All of a sudden she's being really hyperactive. Just to let you know- a couple years ago I dealt with an accidental litter. It seems that right before delivery they get really, like, weird and hyper. They also get violent. I loved Miko dearly, and I miss her so much.
