A famous tongue

by Meg on July 27, 2006

People, this is Lucy, the famous hamster of HamsterTracker fame. Her tongue just needs an extreme close-up for your viewing pleasure. Yes, it might be a little strange to look so closely at a hamster tongue, but, well, you really should check it out.

2 Lourdes 07.27.06 at 7:55 pm

3 Theo 07.27.06 at 7:56 pm

This is SO goofy!
THPPPPPPTPPPH!

4 Christabel 07.27.06 at 7:57 pm

I love the little hands too. So small and pink. It looks like she’s inquiring about a mid-day snack or something. “say you wouldn’t happen to have any carrots in that tupperware over there, would you?”

EEEE! Cute village, Population 1. Mayor, Lucy Z. Hamster.

6 Courtney 07.27.06 at 8:00 pm

Lucy is making an awfully funny face. I didn’t know hamsters could look like that. Was she in the middle of a sneeze?

7 Aoide 07.27.06 at 8:01 pm

No idea which is cuter- The teeny tongue, the petite paws, or the nose! Has anyone bothered to look at the nose?

8 Connie 07.27.06 at 8:02 pm

The nose. Definitely the nose.

9 Joe Mama 07.27.06 at 8:04 pm

Little Lucy needs some weensie White Strips for those bottom chompers!

Even so, I wanna snorgle that fuzzy little nose.

10 Mel 07.27.06 at 8:05 pm

Lucy looks a lil hungry after so much running. I’m definitely scared.

11 ShelleyTambo 07.27.06 at 8:06 pm

I can’t think of anything to say other than “wow.”

12 tm 07.27.06 at 8:10 pm

i look at the hamstertracker site every day to catch the ever present adorableness that is lucy the hammie. i lurve her! awwww, the tongue! the tongue!

13 lurkertype 07.27.06 at 8:10 pm

Teh nose FTW!!!

Actually the overall pic with the goofy expression is the cutest. But the nose is cuter than the tongue.

14 Tisha___ 07.27.06 at 8:10 pm

Even her nose is fuzzy! Eep!!! To cute!

15 hamster 07.27.06 at 8:22 pm

i <3 lucy

16 Rinky 07.27.06 at 8:23 pm

gah..pls..i beg..stick to cats/dogs/etc…rodents are NOT cute.

17 Theo 07.27.06 at 8:24 pm

Anybody notice that Cute Overlord (with an “R”) seems to be snowed in, last couple of days?

18 housecat 07.27.06 at 8:28 pm

OMG. SO CUTE! She looks like Stuart Little! She looks like she’s smiling!

19 ohnonichole 07.27.06 at 8:36 pm

Oh my goodness, Lucy looks just like Jimmie Durante!

20 Nan 07.27.06 at 8:47 pm

Joe Mama – I think she has a couple kernels of corn i her mouth, those don’t look like teeth to me.

My favorite part is her little paw against the clear plastic. What a cutie!

21 Heather S. 07.27.06 at 8:47 pm

Rinky, some rodents are cute. Not all of us are breedist(racist againts certain breeds) and we like to see cute everything!

22 Heather S. 07.27.06 at 8:51 pm

If you look closely in the closeup… you can see the bar looks wet below it’s mouth. Drooling? Maybe nibbling her way out?

23 Aubrey 07.27.06 at 8:52 pm

If I had a hammie,
I’d feed it in the morning,
I’d feed it in the evening,
Fresh food and not canned,
I’d keep the hammie in a cage and near,
I’d let the hammie be roaming,
It’s a hammie I’d love as well
As her brothers and her sisters,
All over this land.

24 Mathijs 07.27.06 at 8:54 pm

The ‘corn’ is actually Lucy’s front teeth, the white ‘teeth’ is her gum!
Her right paw (for us the one on the left) is in close-up on her HamsterTracker.com website!

25 ceejoe 07.27.06 at 8:58 pm

Mathijs – YOU ROCK! Love your site!

26 Luciana 07.27.06 at 9:11 pm

Lucy has this “Stuart Little” thing going on. She’s absolutely adorable!!!!!

27 Jenne 07.27.06 at 9:19 pm

I think extreme close-up hamsters are kind of scary. Yeesh, the toofs. Perhaps her hand should hold a wee little toofbrush? But the ‘normal’ pic.. definitely cute.. in a rodent sort of way ;)

28 chacha 07.27.06 at 9:25 pm

ohnonichole, I had the exact same thought. That is a Jimmy Durante schnozzle fer sure. And Lucy looks as though she’s had one too many … reeling against the bars … wha? last call? I just got here!

29 Blondie 07.27.06 at 9:44 pm

EW! It looks like slime!

30 leah 07.27.06 at 9:55 pm

HAMSTER LIPS. holygod.

31 WickedWendy 07.27.06 at 9:58 pm

That’s funny

32 Tanya 07.27.06 at 10:07 pm

hammie. cute. funny. sweet.

33 kittyluv 07.27.06 at 10:10 pm

Oh I just love Lucy’s website – she’s sooooooo cute! The tiny little personal cheeseburger that Mathijs made for Lucy was the best! You rock Mathijs! I wish all animal companions were treated this well.

34 fate 07.27.06 at 10:10 pm

ahhh!! het away the tongues slimy

35 sabrina 07.27.06 at 10:23 pm

LMAO

36 Lafina 07.27.06 at 10:42 pm

cutie!

37 Lafina 07.27.06 at 10:43 pm

OMG look at that little face and wow never seen a tougue like that

38 Kris, in New England 07.27.06 at 10:48 pm

I check on Lucy everyday as well. I even submitted a DIY Hamster Tracker photo that was published! A friend’s guinea pig is now a STAR on Lucy’s site!!!

39 M- 07.27.06 at 10:52 pm

Question… why does it frequently look like hamsters are in the middle of a break out? http://mfrost.typepad.com/cute_overload/2005/12/oh_mah.html

40 Erica 07.27.06 at 11:01 pm

I’m such a sucker for wee little rodent hands! And that adorable psycho grin!

41 A thinker 07.27.06 at 11:26 pm

Haven’t we already seen Lucy’s tongue close up? …Oh wait, that was her paw…

42 ana 07.27.06 at 11:30 pm

what is the yellow thing in its mouth?

43 Tinderblast 07.27.06 at 11:38 pm

Man, I love rodent tongues. Every once in a while I catch my gerbils stretching and yawning – so much condensed cute it could be developed as a particularly fiendish military weapon!

For the record, the last time I took them to the vet I was informed that the dark yellow color is the proper, healthy color for a gerbil’s teeth, which I’m assuming applies to hamsters as well. So no, Lucy doesn’t need a toothbrush! Cute as that would be.

44 piscespixie 07.27.06 at 11:54 pm

I love it when my ratties grab my finger with their wittle pink hands and lick my finger. I just wuf wittle wodents!

45 A Fine Morsel 07.28.06 at 12:03 am

What a face!! Lucy is the best. You go, van der Paauw!!

46 Kristen 07.28.06 at 1:28 am

When I first looked at this picture I thought I was seeing a little rat. It still looks rat-like to me. But I guess I am wrong.

47 Mina 07.28.06 at 1:42 am

How could anyone think he’s not cute!? (Mouse, not hampster!) He looks like he’s smiling!! ^_^

48 Christina 07.28.06 at 1:53 am

She looks overcome with glee! I laughed when I first saw the picture :)

49 Crystal 07.28.06 at 3:16 am

Actually, that yellow thing in her mouth appears to be the yellow bar on the cage that she is chewing on. Cute!

50 Crystal 07.28.06 at 3:18 am

Or is she chewing on it? Does it look like she is? Maybe it is her teeth or a corn kernel. Someone tell us what it is!

51 arbed 07.28.06 at 3:22 am

Crystal, Mathijs told us above what it was. Here’s his comment:

52 Aoide 07.28.06 at 3:23 am

Crystal- From the wideshot of the pic, I also got the impression that she was gnawing on the bar of the cage.

I mean, her face is kinda smooshed up against the bar and her mouth is open. Thus, it’s not totally illogical to think she’s possibly gnawing on the bar.

53 Crystal 07.28.06 at 4:26 am

OK, now I can rest easy LOL.

54 mistie3k 07.28.06 at 5:39 am

Has anyone gently pressed the fuzzy nose yet? Oh, all right. I’ll do it. Seventh floor, please. *beep*

55 *bleht*(dead) 07.28.06 at 5:50 am

56 The Honourable Gadys Anstruther 07.28.06 at 6:17 am

57 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 07.28.06 at 6:57 am

I must say this is cute!
not an overall rodent fan but can’t deny the cuteness of this pic…

58 Mystery Wolf 07.28.06 at 8:46 am

The hamster equivalent of the ‘:P’ emoticon haha!

59 Alex 07.28.06 at 1:19 pm

After that theres nothign more to live for!! I die now

60 Clotypus 07.28.06 at 2:10 pm

Hamster hands! And a nose that looks like it’s made out of felt!!!

Lookit those corn kernal teeth though :P

Adorable.

61 Michelle 07.28.06 at 6:17 pm

68 hrh.squeak 07.28.06 at 7:44 pm

Lucy is so cute, with her little goofy “Hi y’all” pose. Even with her little cornchip teefs. Yay Lucy!!

69 Rachell 07.28.06 at 10:39 pm

NOPE- NOT STUART LITTLE- BUT A CUTE-

W.C. FIELDS! HACHACHACHACHA

70 sabrina 07.29.06 at 2:46 pm

If you look at the close up you’ll see the two little white teeth at the top, the gold bar in her mouth are *not* her teeth lol! I prefer the bottom lip, very cute. Chewing on bars can be a sign she needs more wood to chew on to keep her teeth at an even level.

71 sabrina 07.29.06 at 2:47 pm

thats hamster frustration as in “get me outta here!!” lol

72 ceebs 07.29.06 at 2:50 pm

please stop it, it’s so cute I can hardly stand it!!!

73 Maisy 07.30.06 at 6:54 am

Those are her teeth. It’s not the bar, because the bar wouldn’t bend like that. That’s what hamster teeth look like.

So basically, in conclusion: CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTENESS.

74 sabrina 07.31.06 at 3:40 pm

since when were teeth GOLD lol! I know what hamster teeth look like im a vet!

75 Aoide 07.31.06 at 6:28 pm

I think Sabrina’s right. I had a hamster once, and his teeth never looked ginormous and golden. Sure, they were kinda yellow-ish, but they were small.

76 Nicole 10.23.06 at 2:20 am

My pet Ratty’s teeth are yellowish orange too. I’m pretty sure that it’s normal. I’m not sure if the same goes for hamsters though. this is really cute! I prefer my wittle ratty though.
