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?

My honorary hamster (a green anole lizard) escaped and was presumed dead. We found him and recaptured him over two years later, living on the spiders and other insects in my brother's basement bedroom and bathroom. He lived for several more years in captivity, and I renewed efforts to give him a variety of wild-caught food instead of just store bought feeder crickets. He died fat and happy of old age.
