Am I crazy, have I lost my mind?

I probably have and there's nothing I'm going to do about it. We have 6 hamsters, another one just died on us. 2 years ago our first hamster died of old age. Last year, 2 dwarf hamsters died on us, and tonight we discovered another one was sick, we couldn't tell what was wrong with her. We figured out that she'd broken a tooth and it was lodged in a pouch, her face was swollen and tipped to one side. My husband tried to get it out and was successful, and she started running around like everything was fine. A few minutes later, we put her back in her cage and started to stuff her pouches again. my husband pulled her out of the cage and tried to empty them, and that's when she died. Now, we're crazy. On Friday were are going to pick up more hamsters, possibly 8 of them. Yes you read it right 8! of them. We have a cage big enough for them, they're all babies too, not old like the rest of our hamsters are. One dwarf has arthritis and may be blind. Our Syrian is blind, and our other dwarfs are fine. Our teddy bear hamster is old and fat. So am I crazy for waning to get more of them after this has happened? We love our hamsters, small pets are so much easier to take care of. We have a cat, he doesn't bother the hamsters, he doesn't care about them which is a very good thing.
