Don’t you just love it when a hamster is in the room? It radiates such amazing energy and joy! These cute little creatures are so full of life and have a way of catching your attention. Needless to say, they’re not just fun pets.
They’re also the perfect subjects to photograph! No wonder people post hamster memes and pictures on the internet (not as much as cats and dogs, but hamsters are still pretty high in the Favorite Pets ranking).
Do you know that a hamster once earned a Guinness World Record? In 1974, a hamster in Louisiana gave birth to 26 baby hamsters. The average number is 8 babies per litter. And since we’re talking about awards, hamsters hands down win the “Cutest Animal Ever Award”. It’s not an official award, but don’t dare tell us they don’t deserve it. Maybe it’s because their tiny little bodies are like marshmallows. Maybe it’s because they have such sweet faces and small paws.
Or maybe it’s because they move around so quickly; it’s as if they know you want to wrap your hands around them, but they make sure you can’t catch them. Whatever the reason, we think these cute hamster pictures show they may be small, but they have big personalities. Warning: cuteness overload ahead!

Little Fellow Broke His Arm
Katy McMouse 3 years ago
My rat Hamlet broke her arm my sophomore year of college. Because of her "cast", she obviously had a hard time moving around and developed pneumonia. I tried to nurse her back to health, even made a bed out of an old lunchbox and kept her with me as I went to classes. My poor baby lived another two months but looking back on it now, i shouldn't have put her through that.

The Utterly Disappointed Look The Hamster Gave Me When We Took Too Long To Find The Lid For Her Ball
Elliebean13 3 years ago
Unfortunately, that ball is too small and could hurt her little back. Balls are also not the most safe option, because they can crash, be stepped, on or fall down stairs, therefore causing damage or in some cases killing hamsters. A safer option is play pens or other large enclosed spaces.

My Hamster Out For A Walk

I walked my hammy just like this when I was a kid. Built stick forts in grass and dirt, etc. He lived in a habitrail with cedar shavings and had an exercise ball. Gasp! My boy lived to 6+yo.Yes, 6! I've had others dispute this age. Please don't. Be careful, use common sense with your hams.

Y'all, I know this is unwanted advice but... Hamsters should not be housed together unless for 2 reasons. 1- they are baby hammies and still need to bee separated at a certain age. 2- Roborovski hamsters can be housed together. Hammies are very territorial and will fight and harm other hammies... especially if they are different sizes.
Paulina 3 years ago (edited)
Seeing pictures like that I'm always wondering how do people do it. When I was a kid I had hamsters and they were so fast and so prone to getting into nooks and crannies that letting them on the table or couch, not to mention floor was always a risk. Like, they would jump off of things or get stuck. Do your hamsters run freely around all the time? Or are those photos staged? Like, do you put your hamster next to a plate of food for a few seconds and then catch it & put in the cage again? Or are they really allowed to roam? Aren't you afraid they'll hurt themselves or you accidentally hurt them? I have so many questions!! *To be fair, my first hamster was pretty smart and we let her run around the couch daily, some days she got to run the floors. On the couch we had to stop her from falling of, on the floor - from climbing the fridge and then falling of...

How long do hamsters live now? I had them when I was young, and they almost all developed really nasty tumors or these horrid sores. They were very, very well cared for and my vet would remove them, but it was tough to go through. Switched to ratties and damn, if they don't have a lot of tumor problems as well. Ferrets now - that is a whole different level of vet issues! Thanks for sharing these sweet ones.

Yeah because a lot of pet stores don't feed their animals correctly and keep too many of them in a small space. Many animal species would resort to cannibalism in that circumstance.
