Deep throat!

5 Madera 05.13.06 at 8:39 pm

Hee! The eye bulge!

It almost looks like he’s gonna sling shot that carrot out of there.

6 Jodi101 05.13.06 at 8:42 pm

Sort of cute, but yeah, creepy too. This is why I cut up carrots for my hammy!

7 Michelle 05.13.06 at 8:45 pm

I’m using Safari and it still doesn’t work right on my computer either. Still get about 1/3 to 1/2 of the images chopped off. Even with Shift-refresh. :\

8 Michelle 05.13.06 at 8:46 pm

Arrrgh. Meant to post that on the “Safari” thread.

9 Rafael 05.13.06 at 8:49 pm

Boy, what a big mouth you have!

10 chelsea 05.13.06 at 8:51 pm

If he keeps going at that rate, his eyes are going to pop out! Hammies are so determined!

11 jenny 05.13.06 at 8:56 pm

i think this picture is SO cute. and not creepy at all. I LOVE IT!

12 Amanda 05.13.06 at 8:59 pm

I don’t think it’s creepy. It’s adorable that he’s trying so hard to get as much carrot as possible!

21 E. Collison 05.13.06 at 9:38 pm

Could it be that the chemicals in carrots are actually making him high? ;)

Meg, great pic and captions!

22 alice 05.13.06 at 9:52 pm

ehehehehe cannot stop giggling! Makes me think of the mouse in Cinderella with too many kernals of corn!

23 alice 05.13.06 at 9:53 pm

and I cannot spell – kernel, I meant.

24 E. Collison 05.13.06 at 10:13 pm

Join the club, Alice. :)

25 Mary 05.13.06 at 10:14 pm

27 Christina 05.13.06 at 10:54 pm

I love the hamster pics, and the ones lately are so cute. Great captions too.

28 Casey 05.13.06 at 10:56 pm

That’s the human equivalent of eating a 3 pound sausage!

29 Lillith 05.13.06 at 11:10 pm

I love the little “What?” look on his face.

30 Deb 05.13.06 at 11:30 pm

Lookit the little hungry hammie. Too precious.

31 J. Bo 05.13.06 at 11:47 pm

Oh, that’s HILARIOUS!

32 greenighs 05.14.06 at 12:08 am

It’s the wee fist trying to jam it in here that gets me. That and the BEF.

33 Michelle 05.14.06 at 12:23 am

haha greenighs, my thoughts zackly! That wee fist!

34 A thinker 05.14.06 at 12:31 am

Not to mention: HAMSTER LIPS.

35 A thinker 05.14.06 at 12:34 am

AH GOOGLE SEARCH INSTEAD OF ROLLYO!!!!

Meg, you rock. Sorry, caps are excitement, not anger. w00t!!

36 Mr Fluffy 05.14.06 at 1:14 am

… and the Hamster World Record For Most Carrots Eaten stands at… ONE.

37 judy 05.14.06 at 1:17 am

AWW! Eating baby carrots will never be the same for me AGAIN.

38 VaCKo 05.14.06 at 1:18 am

I THINK I can, I THINK I can…

39 Laura 05.14.06 at 1:24 am

OMG…the little hamster fist is adorable…you can tell he’s working really hard to get the rest of that carrot in his tiny hamster mouth…too cute

40 E. Collison 05.14.06 at 1:36 am

Oh, and it’s not just any search – it’s a “SiZZearch”! w00t indeed!!!

41 Displayname 05.14.06 at 1:46 am

Alice – Gus-Gus? That’s a perfect name for him.

42 The Guy Over There 05.14.06 at 1:54 am

That hamster’s going to be a frat mascot, not only for attempting to perform a world record with his mouth, but for having the right attitude!

You, hammy, deserve a Black Flag tribute:

We’ve got nothing better to do,
Then watch CO and have something to chew!

Don’t feed me with anything else, it will make me mean!
I’m going to eat all my favorite greens!

Haygrass sprigs!
Alfalfa sprouts!
Carrots!
Lettuce!!

43 Laurie C 05.14.06 at 2:44 am

I’m afraid he *will* fit it all in and then it’ll get stuck in there.

44 Kristen 05.14.06 at 3:03 am

It’s like when you stick an orange peel in your mouth and smile… or like Shaggy from Scooby Doo!

45 Renee 05.14.06 at 3:13 am

AhHahahahaha!! That’s great!

46 alice 05.14.06 at 4:05 am

ah ha thank you! – Gus Gus was the mouse’s name. hehe it would definitely be an orange peel moment for hammy there, Kristin!

47 Jess 05.14.06 at 4:45 am

whah?!

umm hmmfrrumm eeerrree unnnree

(translation: I’m hungry, reeeeeally hungry)

48 E. Collison 05.14.06 at 5:23 am

“Not to mention: HAMSTER LIPS.”

Yes – like bunny lips! ;)

“mmmmrmph…baroo?”

50 Laura 05.14.06 at 7:23 am

How much carrot can this little dude fit in his mouth, what’s he trying to do, break a hammy record?

51 Meg 05.14.06 at 7:47 am

A thinker!

I’m so psyched you’re happy with Google search… As you can see, I try like every widget out there. I think Google is better in this case…

52 kim 05.14.06 at 7:53 am

Hamsters have lips? no….

53 Constance 05.14.06 at 8:15 am

This is a stupid question, but when I first looked at that picture, it occured to me that it looks like someone put that in the hamsters mouth and he was trying to get it out. Just the way he’s being held, the position of his paw, plus I’m not sure how he woulda gotten it in there, etc etc etc.

Anyone else see that? or am I just being weird?

54 Michelle 05.14.06 at 11:10 am

It’s most likely the ham is putting the carrot in his mouth himself. Hammies collect and transport their food supply in their cheek pouches. They often cram as much as their pouch will hold to take back to their larder. Sometimes stuff gets stuck, but not too often. When emptying their pouches, their paws are usually shoving the bulge from behind the cheek.

55 displayname 05.14.06 at 12:13 pm

Hammy: Ehn!

From the CO Glossary
Ehn!: The sound every living creature makes when it can’t… quite…

56 A thinker 05.14.06 at 12:16 pm

Yes, Google search is def. better. Good move!

57 jaypo 05.14.06 at 2:33 pm

Hammy cramming–ALWAYS anerable!!

58 Constance 05.14.06 at 3:17 pm

Thanks Michelle, I feel better now, and I can fully enjoy the awesomeness that is this image.

OMG SO CUTE!

squee!!!!!!

59 Judy B 05.14.06 at 6:24 pm

Plus those pouches go back further than that carrot has so far.
It’s amazing how much they can actually fit in ‘em and very funny to see too!

Go hammie, you can do it!!!

60 BenPanced 05.14.06 at 9:11 pm

As cartoonist B. Kliban once wrote, “Never eat anything bigger than your head.”

“I DON’T CARE! I’LL MAKE IT FIT, GOD*murfleurk*!”

61 Emmy 05.15.06 at 12:39 am

Hilariously cute!

62 Alex 05.15.06 at 3:03 am
63 Bioflux 05.15.06 at 3:39 am

Now THAT is honest to God cute! He’s like a little cartoon charater! Awwwwww. Except for the SQEEEZING FINGERS!!! Ouch, man! Let a Hammie BREATHE!

64 Aubrey 05.15.06 at 5:42 am

“Goldfish swallowing. Substance abuse. Students sqeezing into VW’s, and similarly abusing phone booths. Trends like these have long been witnessed on our campuses from coast to coast. Now, via people who are trying to make a change – Hamsters Anonymous – new examples have come to light: ‘Mother’s Little Helpers’ cleverly disguised as massive corn kernels and now, the more alarming trend…CARROT CRAMMING. A recent member of HA is seen here undergoing the only known therapy: allowing a large human hand to sqeeze his abdomen until he is forced to remove the carrots one by one.”

65 Christabean 05.15.06 at 9:52 am

Look at him compared to the hands! That is like the biggest, fattest hamster in the world! And now we know why!

66 Zelda 05.15.06 at 3:31 pm

LOL – love how his eyes bulge a bit. He is one focused Hammie — “gotta..get..this..IN!!”

67 Natalia 05.15.06 at 3:44 pm

my favorite photo EVER!

68 E. Collison 05.15.06 at 11:28 pm

Christabean, I think he might be a Syrian hamster – they’re on the biggish side.

69 lauowolf 05.16.06 at 1:46 am

To me it looks as if he’s got a harmonica.
Just needs a tiny mike in front of him.

70 mark 05.16.06 at 5:31 am

“Waddya mean I should learn to eat with my mouth closed?”

71 Beth 05.16.06 at 2:58 pm

My husband had this comment: “I like the combination of greed and panic in his eyes.”

72 Meghan 05.25.06 at 4:17 am

Ha, “weekend of excess.” I also like the “greed and panic” comment. I lol’ed.

Constance, I don’t think anyone put the carrot in his mouth. It’s hard to hold hamsters a certain way, much less jam giant carrots into their cheeks. They can get some pretty impressive cheek fillage.

Go to http://www.hamsterific.com/CHEEZ.html and type the number 195 in the little box to see a little ham ham named Oreo Cookie demonstrate.

73 equus 06.09.06 at 8:47 pm

HA so funny. His eyes are kinda crazed. Great caption!

74 Dennis 06.14.06 at 8:49 pm

Have I seen WHAT carrot?

75 karenology 07.28.06 at 6:53 pm

Hey, this hamster’s name is Petunia :) My brother-in-law took this photo, and I posted it on some other forum…funny to see how far little Petunia has gone on the Internets :)

76 karenology 07.28.06 at 6:59 pm

Also, no the hamster was not abused! Unless you count spoiling as abuse ;0
