Awww, so sorry to hear that! It's always hard losing a pet - I have had LOTS of hamsters and even though they are just small animals, they mean a lot to me and I always cry when they die (even though I am 14 lol)!!

I hope your daughter takes it well and that she wont be too upset. I like the idea about a "Hamster Cemetery", we did that to some of my hamsters when they passed away when I was younger and it's comforting knowing that they are still there. Maybe tell her about Rainbow Bridge also ... that helped me cope when we lost our 14 year old springer spaniel.

Thinking about you and hope your Daughter is OK!
