If you want to save him for a proper outdoor funeral, freeze him. I did that a few years ago to a hamster that died.
He was found about a year later. A little frostbit but all there. He is now under some daffodil bulbs in my front yard.
Thanks racer72, but I think he’ll be ok under my dragon tree.
Sorry alice, but the whole tone of your post didn’t seem terribly torn up. Vaguely down, yes, but not sad. I’m sorry, I thought in light of it that a little humor wouldn’t be too bad. I’ve owned fish, salamanders, and other non-traditional pets before, myself.
Listen Guys, I’m not trying to be nasty or anything, and I know that everyone thought it was all in good fun.
It just seemed like this was going somewhere that would upset me, so I thought I would say something.
