She had neurological problems and suffered from seizures but she lived a fairly long time considering. We originally got her as a foster and later adopted her ourselves. Despite all of her problems, she was probably the smartest hamster I have seen. She was kind of like the Stephen Hawking of hamsters.... except for the wheelchair and the quantum theory.She was a furry bundle of contradictions. she was a consumate escape artist, yet she had balance issues. she thought of gravity as a convenient way to get from "high" to "low" quickly. she slept on her head. Her "handle Human" skill was apparantly maxed out as she was able to train us to her various calls and other communications. she would chirp if she was hungry, she would chew the third bar from the left corner if she wanted to come out of her cage and wander.She got sick on Friday. I took her to the vet and she was started on antibiotics for a uterine infection. she was responding well, was active and eating normally. then she died Sunday night. The vet thinks she had a stroke and passed quickly.Even though we only had her for nine months, she will be missed.</blockquote>
