He looks so tired, like he can barely turn that wheel around…

10 kagomechan21 03.11.06 at 12:46 am

15 Alex Jeffries 03.11.06 at 1:00 am

It’s so tiny… but pushin’ against something so big…

It’s so inspiring.

16 hashi 03.11.06 at 1:03 am

I just realized that his head is one THIRD his body.

17 pheral 03.11.06 at 1:46 am

20 Aly 03.11.06 at 2:33 am

21 Fox 03.11.06 at 2:36 am

I would like that picture on one of those cheesy motivational posters, with “FUTILITY” in large type beneath it.

“You are just a hamster in a wheel. And the wheel is too big for you anyway.”

22 maricela 03.11.06 at 2:58 am

23 Mina 03.11.06 at 3:59 am

Seriously Sistah, you have OUTDONE yourself. Brilliant.

29 Subhangi 03.11.06 at 5:31 am

Now that’s what I’d call ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL.

Awwwwwwwwwww.

30 Nose-fur-atu 03.11.06 at 5:46 am

Hmm, maybe this photo was taken from above, and baby hammie is actually in a translucent orange bundt cake pan, having just eaten the whole thing. Explains why he’s so drowsy.

31 TigerZahn 03.11.06 at 7:23 am

“I think I can, I think I can, I think I can…”

32 ihateToast 03.11.06 at 8:43 am

so…. what i really want to know is…
have you ever posted and giggled at your description and let just a wee bit of wee out? i’m figuring it was definitely an adult diaper moment when you did all those “doos.”

33 s 03.11.06 at 10:32 am

holy ****, that is so cute ….
what next an embryo in patch of pansies?

34 Elwin 03.11.06 at 11:51 am

haha “Sharon you di-int” stop cracking me up like that!

35 Alice the Brit 03.11.06 at 12:41 pm

OhMyGosh – this *IS* a cute photo but you all *HAVE* to go see the REST of them on sharon918 flickr photo stream – there are 270 photos in the set, about 262 of them are drop dead cute!! ..and in IMHO higher up the cute quotiant than this one!

I spend WAY too much time on this site… and now I just spent over an hour looking at all 270 of the other baby hammie photos that sharon918 has uploaded to flickr.

If I didn’t have 2 Norwich Terriers (who would not rest until their ‘job’ was done) I would fly up to CT and get one of those cuties RIGHT now!

and the 2 Cute Norwich Terriers who have yet to make it up to “CuteOverload” status !!

sleep walkin” champion!

37 Carlisa 03.11.06 at 2:55 pm

… sleep-walking! …must find bed……

38 Dustbunny 03.11.06 at 3:23 pm

It’s a little-known fact that most of our electrical power is generated by the valiant wheel-turning of little hammies like this one. So think of that next time you flip a light switch!

39 Meow House 03.11.06 at 5:34 pm

I’ve been walkin’ on the wheel-road, all the live long day . . .

40 Meow House 03.11.06 at 5:36 pm

P.S. Terpsichore, yours made me chortle.

41 Terpsichore 03.11.06 at 7:37 pm

Woohoo!! :D

42 Jan Spencer 03.11.06 at 9:01 pm

LOL How about…

“Oh the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’…don’t know where I’ll be tomorrow…” Steve Perry and Journey.

Cute. Luv it!

43 Theo 03.11.06 at 9:46 pm

Oh if we’re gonna keep on with the wheel lyrics, how about Earth, Wind & Fire? Old school!

“What goes up
“Must come down
“Spinnin wheel
“Got to go round…”

44 Throbert McGee 03.12.06 at 2:33 am

This is what happens when BAD baby hamsters die and go to Hell. Seriously, I think that all dictionaries should henceforth use this picture to illustrate the adjective “sisyphean.”

45 wickedbored 03.12.06 at 4:33 am

little glimpse of heaven!!! Too cute.

46 Dustbunny 03.12.06 at 5:30 am

Hey Theo, Blood Sweat & Tears actually did “Spinning Wheel”, not EW&F. I’m old school enough to remember that : )

47 Theo 03.12.06 at 6:40 am

Dustbunny — Oops, Duh, and Right.
Sigh.

How about “The wheels on the bus go round and round…” I think that’s about my speed right now…

48 rainey 03.12.06 at 7:22 am

He looks like he’s going to fall asleep any moment. Little furry bundle of LOVE.

49 dwarf rabbit owner too! 03.12.06 at 7:40 am

“I’ve been walkin’ on the wheel-road, all the live long day . . . “
meowhouse that’s meowvalous!

50 dwarf rabbit owner too! 03.12.06 at 7:48 am

If he doesn’t get off that thing he’s going to waist away to less than 6 ounces!
I feel sorry for this widdle fella!or is it wittle…you know carving wood kind of thing…

51 Karl 03.12.06 at 12:05 pm

Fox & Morigale –
Great work! (and I guess I should give credit to the original photographer too, and of course the little hamster).

I am SO tempted to print that out and hang it in my cube!

52 Tawny 03.12.06 at 12:48 pm

I don’t think his eyes are even open yet, what a baby.

53 ariel 03.13.06 at 2:36 pm

what a BABY!

54 dogsleder 06.14.06 at 8:25 am

Yesh!! Is that his tiny tail or his left back paw??
