Sand trap!

by Meg on April 11, 2006

Looking a lot like a golf ball himself, this little dude passed out while reaching for his 3-iron.

Wee little hammie just passed out because that bunny in the sweater is so darned cute!

3 chets momma 04.11.06 at 6:32 pm

sand butt!

4 Tony James 04.11.06 at 6:33 pm

No wonder he passed out – trying to get a ball out of that sand-trap with 3-iron would tire anyone! :)

5 A thinker 04.11.06 at 6:37 pm

Hopefully that’s “passed out”, not “passed away”–he looks kind of dead!!

6 mejezabel 04.11.06 at 6:42 pm

The whiskers make me giggle.

*in a scientific voice over voice, think discovery channel* here we see the rarely seen “sand hammie” wallowing in happy sleep. while little is known about these docile and adorable animals, all scientists are in agreance that they are adorable.

14 TheIdleReceptionist 04.11.06 at 7:00 pm

Meg,

How could you snag a photo of the little creature that served as a croquet ball in Alice and Wonderland??

15 Aubrey 04.11.06 at 7:08 pm

20 Tracy B. 04.11.06 at 7:39 pm

Woo hoo! I provided fodder for an “enh!” entry! ::dances::

21 Tracy B. 04.11.06 at 7:40 pm

(Whoops! Make that “ehn!”)

22 eekahil 04.11.06 at 7:44 pm

would it be a bad thing to only ever have adorable hammies on the t-shirts?

23 Hammy 04.11.06 at 7:49 pm

I wouldn’t think it would be bad, but it would be unfair for other animals, but go ahead, make them all Hammie T-Shirts!!!

24 Rayndrop 04.11.06 at 7:54 pm

That’s just… I just…gah…

Well, that’s great. Just great. Why don’t you just shoot me? WHAT’S WITH THE PAWS?!? They’re so tiny! They’re so pink! And the critter is so fat and round there’s no way they can serve any kind of ambulatory purpose! They’re there SOLELY TO DRIVE ME BONKERS SNUGGLING A COMPUTER SCREEN! Gah!

*falls on floor, writhing*

32 The Guy Over There 04.11.06 at 8:38 pm

A little furry munchkin, as in the doughnut hole. The sand is really powdered sugar.

Can I get a dozen of them with a large coffee?

33 Courtney 04.11.06 at 8:46 pm

Oh! OH!!! So cute!

Is he sleeping, or actually photographed in the middle of a sandbath?

I tried to give my gerbils a sandbath once but they just tried to eat the sand. :(

34 mary 04.11.06 at 8:50 pm

Awww.

He looks like a powdered doughnut hole. :)

35 belle 04.11.06 at 9:08 pm

This hammie totally makes up for the claws on the wombat — PASSED OUT and still cute, how I hope I look on after a good Saturday night!

36 Brie 04.11.06 at 9:11 pm

What a wittle cutie! Little biddy feet, so cute!

37 spamtaro 04.11.06 at 9:48 pm

Just so-o-o-o precious.

Our little Ham-ham passed away earlier this year, and every time I see these pictures I miss her so much. We have been looking and looking for a baby to replace her, with no luck.

38 baczek 04.11.06 at 10:08 pm

/. geeks say CUTE!

39 Christina 04.11.06 at 10:23 pm

Teensy tiny little helpless ball of furry goodness!

40 AuntieMame 04.11.06 at 10:30 pm

Aww, but they’re sweet enough without rolling them in sugar and cinnamon!

The little nose and the little feets!

And the little frowny mouth, looks like Jaws rising from the depths of the ocean. (If I only had Photoshop skillz…)

41 gigi 04.11.06 at 11:05 pm

oh my god, how can he be so lovely and cute!!!

42 Jackie 04.11.06 at 11:23 pm

“Now who in the world put sand in my cage? Did they run out of woodchips? Hey, this stuff is kinda cozy…I think I’ll just nestle in and ZZZZZZZZZZZ…”
Gotta love the fluff factor and those itsy bitsy feetsies!

43 renata 04.12.06 at 12:34 am

Speaking of Chinchillas, I don’t think we have one on this site yet!! They are so adorable when they roll around in their dust. We must get one, Meg!!

44 Woods walker 04.12.06 at 1:05 am

That hammy better get out of that sand trap before someone mistakes it for a different kind of golf ball.-Woods Walker

45 E. Collison 04.12.06 at 1:24 am

“How could you snag a photo of the little creature that served as a croquet ball in Alice and Wonderland??”

No, no – it was *hedgehog* croquet in Alice… See “Unusual Animals” category for Meg’s baby hedgehog/croquet post.

46 Mina 04.12.06 at 2:04 am

*dies* I think thats one of the cutest little hammies ever!

47 jaypo 04.12.06 at 2:08 am

I want to poke him in the tummy with my finger… Me so tie-tie too, little hammie. nigh’night.

48 Tori 04.12.06 at 2:43 am

Hammie feets! Oh no! Must resist urge to run out and buy a hamster! Oh, cuteness poisoning! *death*

49 Christine 04.12.06 at 3:23 am

I seem to be missing something…how do you guys all know this is a hamster? I just see the paws.

50 E. Collison 04.12.06 at 3:37 am

Hey, Christine, see some of the hamster links on the left, including K Akagami’s hamster (http://www.flickr.com/photos/akagami/sets/143873/)
and Baruchito’s Home Cage (http://www.baruchito.com/)

K. Akagami even has a lil’ sandbox for the Akagami ’sters.

51 Chris - Kitten Picture Blog 04.12.06 at 4:33 am

Looks like he’s bunkered down for the night.

52 AuntieMame 04.12.06 at 5:14 am

Bunkered down for the night…

Bwah ha! Good one, C-KPB!

53 BenPanced 04.12.06 at 5:35 am

Guess the excitement at making the front page of CO was too much for the little grubber to take!

54 Subhangi 04.12.06 at 5:54 am

“‘Sup, me hammiez? Nope, can’t hit da ‘hood today. I’m totally totalled, dude. Gotta crash for a bit.”

LOL, good one, Mook!

55 BENTONG 04.12.06 at 5:57 am

Swing and he’s gone…

56 Gillian 04.12.06 at 7:26 am

Christine,

I know it’s a hamster cuz I’ve had dozens of them. I used to breed Siberian hamsters.

That’s definitely a hamster. :)

And yes, they’re all that cute. My kitty has one named Dostoyevsky.

57 Carlisa 04.12.06 at 10:11 am

Gillian——–Your kitty doesn’t try to attack the hamster? My son wants one but we have two cats. I’m afraid it might wiggle away from him and one of my cats is a real mouser. She’d probably grab it in mid air.

This pic is too cute to comment on. Looks like he’s sunning himself at the beach.

58 dwine 04.12.06 at 10:44 am

WONDERFUL

59 claudia 04.12.06 at 11:08 am

christine and gillian,

yup! it’s definitely a hamster, cos that’s my Pudding! :) Pudding always sleeps funny.

They’re both white faced roborovskii dwarf hamsters. They were just three weeks old in this picture.

:P about 200 more photos of them here. haha. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jade/sets/72057594075161501/

60 carlisa 04.12.06 at 1:00 pm

Claudia—- Are you sure the other hamster didn’t “pooty-toot” and gas him out?

61 claudia 04.12.06 at 1:31 pm

erm Dumpling could have squished all the air out of Pudding though :P

66 Lillith 04.12.06 at 6:45 pm

Good grief, Dumpling and Pudding? Even the names are too prosh for words!

67 Mel 04.12.06 at 10:09 pm

This qualifies for a Cuteness Trifecta. I especially love the wee little hamster mouth hanging just slightly open. Him’s tie-tie.

68 Molly 04.13.06 at 6:35 am

aahh…aaahhh…aaahhh…my poor heart, this is just too much, it’s just too cute for words.

71 Mook 04.13.06 at 7:35 pm

Hey, thanks for the comments of appreciation for my humble poem – credit to Pudding – my momentary muse.

72 Theo 04.14.06 at 6:19 pm

Mook — hey — is that Earthlink email address of yours valid? ‘Cause, you’ve got mail…
