Today, I thought my hamster might be lonely, so I went to the pet shop and bought a new one to keep him company. The new hamster killed the old one. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my new roommate decided to put his pet hamster in the same cage as my beloved hamster. Apparently he wanted them to make hamster babies. They are both males. His hamster attacked mine and tore it to pieces. I just finished cleaning up the mess. FML
Today, I woke up to one of my hamsters cannibalizing the other. FML
Today, my mom wanted to surprise me by buying me a hamster. When I got into her car, I was actually surprised and even said, "Hi" to the hamster. When we got home, the hamster was dead. FML
Today, I was looking after a hamster for a friend. My dog ate it. FML
Today, I found out my creepy, obsessive neighbor got a pet hamster and named it after me. He has been telling all sorts of stories about his hamster using my name, and he just told me in detail how it died of heart attack. FML
Today, my cat died in the process of eating, and choking on, my hamster. FML
Today, I put my hamster in his ball, and spent about an hour cleaning his cage. When I came back, I realized he wasn't even alive. FML
Today, my last remaining pet, a hamster, died. Even he thinks it's better to drown in his water dish than brave the world living with me. FML
Today, we got my brother a pet hamster because he has trouble making friends. We thought a hamster would be a good way to teach him about caring for others. I walked into the room and the hamster was hanging from the ceiling. Turns out there's a reason my brother doesn't have friends. FML
Today, my hamster gave birth. The babies were very cute and I couldn't resist petting one. Apparently touching a baby hamster will cause it's mother to reject and devour it. I am now know in my family as "The Hamster Slaughterer." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

One time I brought a new girl home to keep the old one company. She didn't like it so much either :/

It's uncommon knowledge that hamsters are territorial.

Thu I can admit it might not be common knowledge that hamsters don't like living together, someone who OWNS a hamster should really look up such facts. Just because it's small doesn't mean you can treat it like crap.

Hamsters, unlike rats, are solitary animals. Poor little fluffers. :'[

I'm disappointed with both you and the pet shop you bought it from. A responsible pet owner, of any type of pet, would ask advice on how to introduce a new individual. And a Petshop would tell you not to. Some species of hamsters can live in pairs, as long as they're bought together, but you can't introduce a new one mid-life with any small animal species, inc Hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, snakes... Research fail

#170: In my case, your last sentence is absolutely not true. Several years ago we bought a second rabbit a few years after buying our first and aside from the occasional little rivalry scuffle/dominance issues they got along great. They were both males, btw. OP even though you should have been more responsible and done your research it still sucks that happened. :(

Apparently, it loves loneliness, in a cruel, bad, bad way..

You must've had two Syrians. They are notoriously loners and will definitely kill any other adult hamster in its area (with the exception of for breeding).
