Binkerton J. Hamster 2006-2008

Sadly this afternoon, our beloved hamster, Binkerton J. Hamster, known to his family as Binky, passed away. We hadn’t seen him out of his house all day, so we took him out and he was still alive, but not well. He passed away peacefully wrapped in a flannel shirt, in a box with a hot water bottle.

Binky was a king among hamsters. He never bit anyone and in his two years of life he only peed on me once. He loved yogurt treats and banana chips. He never ran in his wheel, yet he still managed to break it. Twice. I will always remember Binkerton hanging from the wires on the top of his cage, begging for treats.

In the last few months of his life we had taken some pictures that I never got around to posting here.  So in memoriam, here is a photo tribute to Binky.  He remains my favorite hamster ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Binky will be greatly missed.  The smell of boy hamster will not be missed so much.
