Denizens of Lemmy, how did your hamster die? (lemmy.ml)

The point for this post is to start several (hopefully) interesting threads of weird hamster death stories because apparently these things never die naturally?

Had two hamsters (Calvin and Hobbes) growing up. Both just got old and sick with old hamster stuff. Their deaths happened exactly the same way: my mom reaches into the cage because they haven’t been moving much for a while. Their last act of life is to bite her finger as hard as they can, so she naturally flings them at the wall in front of us kids. Splat.
