Funny moments with your hamster

She is pretty good with handling, I can pick her up pretty easily to give her playpen time and when she wants to go home she'll climb back onto my hand. She would rather be left to do her own thing most of the time though so I don't bother her too much.

Such an amazing cage set up she has - I also thinking it's lovely she'll take treats from your hand. Our Syrian will but our Robo won't. I have to put the treat down before he'll approach. But he's a robo!

I was pretty lucky with her. Rescued her at about a year old from a home where she was being kept in a tiny cage with no enrichment (didn't even have a wheel when I adopted her). She was accepting treats out of my fingers the day after she moved here. I guess her old home at least handled her well even if they didn't know what they were doing with care requirements.
 
Silly hamster!
 
Funny video. People use wheels that are too small as sandbath containers. This one looks like a merrygoround toy. I'm going to try that in the hamster playground.

Again this is not my hamsters (!). Not sure if anyone has seen this before but it was an advert for Kia cars - or maybe a parody of an advert? With the Hamster song and dancing hamsters.

 
Not a video or photograph, but more of an incident that still makes me smile, and still makes my daughter shake her head at me 🤣
Many years ago, when mobile phones had only just become internet enabled (remember WAP internet, my more 'senior sisters' on here ? 😃 )
Well I was on a WAP forum called Wapoc. Anyway, one afternoon my daughter popped round to see me, with her pet hamster. Can't remember his name, but he was make. Most DEFINITELY male. Mel showed me his rear end as she was rather concerned about how large his doodahs were. I had heard that mature males could be very, erm, 'well built' shall we say, but decided to log onto the very big and busy Wapoc site and get some opinions. (Bear in mind, once you'd posted something, it could not be edited or removed back then) Soooo, I made my post/enquiry, but missed out one very important word. That word being 'hamster'... To my dismay, and to my daughter's absolute horror, my post read as such:
"My daughter has exceeding large b******s, is this normal, or should I contact a vet?"

My post became the most responded to post in the entire history of Wapoc, and was never beaten 🤣The majority of responses leaned towards consulting a vet, consulting a surgeon, putting her on television or contacting a circus 🤣
She will forgive me one day, I'm sure 🤣
 
Oh goodness! Yes hamsters can surprise people in this respect. The number of anxious owners who post thinking their male hamster has developed a tumour or lump and it's just their man parts have descended/protruded when they're warm and comfortable! Often doesn't happen till they get to a few months old.
 
Speaking of which. This is Charlie resting on his "laurels" - or "cushions" he looks quite contorted and quirky - look at that back leg above his front one! Always makes me laugh! I usually use this photo as an example of normality when someone thinks their hamster has developed a tumour or large pink lump.

Charlie looks so comfortable (and also rather proud!) sitting there on his exemplary hamhood 😃 Easy to understand why new owners would think of their male hamsters endowment as a possible medical emergency!
 
It did look like he kind of tripped in and rolled over!

If you keep watching on repeat then it is even funnier. :ROFLMAO: He is so so cute. Now I see how the rolling robo club got their name.
