Ironic that you just posted that ...

Matilda croaked last night. I went out drinking and came home to find her belly up and stiff-legged in her little house thingee. I don't think I would be all that emotional under normal circumstance, but the beer definitely drew a tear or two when I saw her.

That makes hamster no. ... 6!

I hope you're not considering replacing Mathilda with another hamster. It sounds like finances are a problem for you, and you weren't able to give her the care she needed at the end. I hope she didn't suffer too much.
