Thanks!
We had a plastic lunch box for his coffin as it was seethrough and no animals could find a way of getting in. Air packed, so he might not decompose as fast as he might've if it had been a wooden box. I laid him in wood shavings and soft bedding and put some of his favourite things in there including his favourite teddy.
He looked like he passed away in his sleep, so I don't think he'd have felt anything. We buried him in the garden... I insisted we bury him near to the house so he was still close to me. He's about level with the positioning of my bed, so I know he'll still be very close.
I'm really heartbroken, but I know I gave him a good and rich life and that he would eventually like me to rescue and care for other hamsters, too. I'll never forget him or get over him, but I will keep other hamsters and care for them in the same way to honor his little hamster memory.
Thanks again, I appreciate it.
