I raised gerbils for 15 years, so I am well aware of how well the little critters can get into your heart. It’s a shame that you had to put her to sleep, but sometimes it’s the best option.
I would keep a close eye on the other two right now. I found that trios were pretty stable, but when one died the remaining pair didn’t necessarily get on so well anymore. New toys or similar distractions are a good idea, but you might also want to try a mesh cage divider if it works for your cage – it keeps them in sight, scent and company but prevents actual arguments until they adjust to the new status quo. Good luck, and I am sorry for your loss.
Ohh..I’m really sorry Blue….I know how hard it is and I totally understand how you are feeling…a few years ago I had to say goodbye to my three hamsters. It was a really hard thing for me to do, we actually had to put one of them down too…. 🙁 But at least you were there with her and she wasn’t alonle. I am sure she knew that you loved her 🙂

My deepest condolences… 😥 although I have not raised small animals myself, I know people who did, and know that they have their own special way of working into your heart. A friend of mine said that they “have larger personalities to make up for their small size”.
<3 I'm sure Maggie knew she was loved.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Doesn’t matter how large or small they are. We love them and it hurts when they have to go.
