One of the best posts. EVAR! I love it!

7 jaypo 09.12.06 at 4:15 pm

Cool Hand Moose.

8 Zap 09.12.06 at 4:16 pm

This reminds me of a video I saw once of a small owl feeding a whole mouse to a baby owl who was about the same size as the mouse. The baby eventually gagged down the whole thing, not having much choice once it started, but I couldn’t see that there was room inside there for the mouse and the owl both. In both cases I think the parent figure needs to do some chopping.

9 Jessica 09.12.06 at 4:17 pm

Eeeeeeeeeeeee! I love hamsters. That’s just too cute! Makes me want grapes.

10 PuppyMomma 09.12.06 at 4:17 pm

Some days you just wish you could disconnect your jaw like a snake…..

11 KarenInToronto 09.12.06 at 4:17 pm

Gulp! The whiskehs!

12 Laura 09.12.06 at 4:21 pm

This made me laugh :D The cute little hamster is barely bigger than his snack!

Mmmm, now I want frozen grapes. Yum…

14 COaddict 09.12.06 at 4:22 pm

AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH

15 Aubrey 09.12.06 at 4:23 pm

Wait – this hammie is scornful and jealous? Doesn’t look like it, but…devour grapes, right?

Oh. SOUR GRAPES.

16 erica 09.12.06 at 4:26 pm

AHHHHHHH SO CUTE

17 ariel 09.12.06 at 4:28 pm

ahhhhhh his little eyeball is stretched out in that last picture cuz all his extra skin, even lower eyelid is going to wrap around that grape!

18 ceebs 09.12.06 at 4:29 pm

Hehehe
it’s almost obscene!
but cute!

19 El Capitan 09.12.06 at 4:30 pm

This is hands..er.. paws-down the funniest thing I’ve seen in weeks. I love in pic # 2 the spray of whiskers caught in the sunlight making an arc over the spectacle of the grape-stuffing!

Good post!

20 liz 09.12.06 at 4:33 pm

haha what a cutie:D
makes my want another hamster:)

21 Mathijs 09.12.06 at 4:39 pm

Aaaaawww!
Moose sure knows how to handle big stuff! Awesomely cute!

22 Fish Eye no Miko 09.12.06 at 4:40 pm

Am I weird for findng the teeny nostrils in picture #2 really cute?
Cuz if so, I’m ok with that… ^_^

23 mariser 09.12.06 at 4:40 pm

the captions are hilarious as always, Meg. I have to admit that the steel-will behind:
“EET WEEL FEET! GERGGG”
sent shivers down my spine…

24 Diem 09.12.06 at 4:40 pm

Urp! Ahhhhh.

25 Redzilla 09.12.06 at 4:42 pm

Yes, yes, the grape is funny, but please, members of the cute jury, I direct your attention to the teeny belleh in picture 2.

26 muffalatta 09.12.06 at 4:48 pm

That is the damn cutest ting I evah saw!!! My teeth hurt and I have an uncontrollable urge to laugh and throw things. Pic #2 especially makes me wheeze and sneeze milk out my nose.

27 ShelleyTambo 09.12.06 at 4:48 pm

Someone’s eyes are bigger than his cheek pouches.

28 Teughcats 09.12.06 at 4:55 pm

*groan*

Oh, Aubrey!

29 Lillith 09.12.06 at 4:56 pm

I hope someone knows hammie heimlich…

30 Rafael 09.12.06 at 5:02 pm

Owner’s Voice

Fist Pic:”Oh no, not again! Everytime I want a grape, I have to fight you off!”

Second Pic:”Give me back my grape!”

Third Pic:”Ok, you want it so bad, let me see you eat it!”

Last Pic:”Nice try pal, now spit it out!”

31 Christine 09.12.06 at 5:10 pm

I wonder if a hamster could actually damage the cheek pouch if they tried to store something way too large or sharp.

32 sabrina 09.12.06 at 5:20 pm

hamsters can damage a cheek pouch with summat sharp, but a grapes ok. hes only gonna store it for later when he will do wee little munchies all around it, then leave it rot lol
cute in a kind of greedy pig! kind of way ;)

33 Peg of Tilling 09.12.06 at 5:24 pm

And then what happened…? Can’t you just see that grape bustin’ like a big water balloon?

34 wendy 09.12.06 at 5:24 pm

I had a really dim hamster once, who got a whole baby carrot in his cheek-pouches, sideways, and then got himself stuck in his climby-tube because he couldn’t make the turn. I had to take the tube apart because he wouldn’t spit out that yummy carrot!

35 AuntieMame 09.12.06 at 5:27 pm

Is Moose teh coolest hamster name evar, or what?

You go, Moose!

36 chillinkzp 09.12.06 at 5:46 pm

my fave entry in the CO glossary (basic HTML went *poof* out the door so didn’t link) is “ehn” and the 2nd pic is totally like moose is going “ehn! ehn!”… er, more like “mmmffphrrren!” and wanna see the rest… i wonder how he *finally* eats it! heheh request a sequel. ^o^

37 Rhea Harding 09.12.06 at 5:55 pm

whoa – how can such a little thing have such a big mouth? O.o*

38 rachie 09.12.06 at 5:57 pm

when i used to have hamsters they would take the food pellets (very rough round balls) and stuff themselves, and when they pulled them all out, there would always be little cheek bits stuck all over the food.

of course, a grape is smooth, so he should be fine. but i think nature made it so they would be okay.

39 jennifuh 09.12.06 at 5:59 pm

GALGH!!!

I couldn’t help wondering, though… how would he swallow said giant grape if the hand was holding him around his belly?

40 jennifuh 09.12.06 at 5:59 pm

GALGH!!!

I couldn’t help wondering, though… how would he swallow said giant grape if the hand was holding him around his belly?

41 Piggalette 09.12.06 at 6:01 pm

That is A W E S O M E!

42 E. Collison 09.12.06 at 6:05 pm

This is one of the most hilarious sequences ever – right up there with “snail scattin’”!

And a ham named Moose: w00t!

43 Badkittie 09.12.06 at 6:19 pm

Buahahaha! Gotta freaking love hamsters!

44 jennifuh 09.12.06 at 6:20 pm

GALGH!!!

45 Elise 09.12.06 at 6:25 pm

My hamster does that with baby carrots!

46 gryt 09.12.06 at 6:26 pm

Hammies should probably avoid eating grapes when they’re on a date… If they’re trying to impress I mean. Then again, maybe in the hammy world that IS considered impressive; they’d try to outdo eachother… Who the hell knows? :D

47 welshcake 09.12.06 at 6:26 pm

Oh, thank crikey CO is back.

Hello everyone. I have been lurking for months but this little hammie has finally lured me out of lurkerdom.

More hammies stuffing things in their moufs please.

48 Aubrey 09.12.06 at 6:31 pm

“Hammies should probably avoid eating grapes when they’re on a date”

True. He’s eating so voraciously, hardly paying attention to his surroundings, he’d probably fall off.

49 Badkittie 09.12.06 at 6:33 pm

Note to hammies: If it is almost as big as your head try chewing…

50 Christina 09.12.06 at 6:38 pm

I always loved when my little ones would do that. Awwww. I love hamsters.

51 Laurie C 09.12.06 at 6:40 pm

Is that a grape in your mouth or are you just glad to see me?

52 georgia 09.12.06 at 6:50 pm

Very very cute. I wanna hammie too.

53 A Fine Morsel 09.12.06 at 6:56 pm

HILARIOUS!!

54 StormCat 09.12.06 at 7:08 pm

This Hammie looks too much like my 18 year old son at the dinner table…We have to count the plates after he’s done!!!

I’d be afraid this little guy would choke himself!!!!

55 Netherland Dwarf rabbit, owner!!♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 09.12.06 at 7:18 pm

Awsome series of pics!
Bursing at the cute grape overload seems I am!

56 Kasia 09.12.06 at 7:24 pm

nooooooo!! don’t stop yet!! i want to know how the story ends! did mooose make it fit!??

57 Jenne 09.12.06 at 7:26 pm

OMG ROFL! Having never owned a hamster (or even wanted to)… this cracks me up! Mr. Hamster don’t you know how to use your teef?? oh man.. So funny!!

58 cleanasyougo@hotmail.com 09.12.06 at 7:49 pm

you are going to kill him.
That is not funny. that is animal abuse.

59 o 09.12.06 at 7:49 pm

Nice ”galllgh” moment!

60 Lohan Roberto 09.12.06 at 8:05 pm
61 Laurie C 09.12.06 at 8:09 pm

Atreyu’s pretty cute, there, Lohan.

62 ceebs 09.12.06 at 8:12 pm

does atreyu still slepp a lot?

63 AmyH 09.12.06 at 8:33 pm

Ha, ceebs! Thanks for that chuckle.

As for this little glutton – w00t! What a riot. I may get a hamster one day just to feed it food bigger than its head.

64 Theo 09.12.06 at 8:39 pm

Oh look… little Atreyu is sleppy:

65 Theo 09.12.06 at 8:40 pm

…and am clearly not as fast as Ceebs today. Ah well.

66 Theo 09.12.06 at 8:52 pm

Ahhh! Here we see Atreyu loving a tring:

This is Atreyu’s old tiger-tab roommate Sterling, attempting to scape:

Speaking of roommates, this one’s got Dibs on Sterling:

SUMMON THE LILEKS!

67 Aubrey 09.12.06 at 8:55 pm
68 AmyH 09.12.06 at 8:56 pm

OMGBBQBMW! Theo – that’s the biggest set of laughs I’ve had all day. Thanks for pointing out the trings and the dibs (HA!). The onion loaf? Why, oh why? I don’t nderstand!

69 Claire 09.12.06 at 8:56 pm

Another fantastic example of my own personal Rule of Cuteness.

“Any cute thing with cheek pouches is always cuter when said cheek pouches are stuffed.”

Hammies <3

The reason he didn’t bite it, is he isn’t planning on eating it right now! He wants to bury it and dig it up later for a little nibble. I wish my gerbils had cheek pouches. Cheek pouches are the cutes <3

70 Katheryn Rourk 09.12.06 at 8:57 pm

Three words AHHHHHHHHHHH, Wow, and Ouch!

71 mariser 09.12.06 at 9:10 pm

T.,

about your ticket. aisle or window?

72 Redzilla 09.12.06 at 9:16 pm

Can anyone else imagine Moose in a college cafeteria with his little cheek pouches full of powdered donut, saying, “What am I? A zit!”

73 Theo 09.12.06 at 9:23 pm

I’ve got a ticket to ride, but I don’t care.

74 Theo 09.12.06 at 9:23 pm

(or Rye, if you prefer)

75 lurkertype 09.12.06 at 9:25 pm

Nothing like greedy hammie doin’ the qte, and then a wander through Regrettable Food.

For those following along, TuxKit is all seepy and tie-tie and comforbuls on the the other end of the couch. HRTortie still hates him.

76 Aubrey 09.12.06 at 9:31 pm

So, T., I’m thinking that you ain’t got time to take a fast train?

77 brownamazon 09.12.06 at 9:34 pm

“Moose”, as in, “eats like a”?

78 Erin 09.12.06 at 9:34 pm

Aw! My Ruby likes to stuff all her food in her cheek pouches and bury the food in her little igloo. I have never given her a grape, although it’s pretty cute when she manages to fit an entire baby carrot in there!

79 betty 09.12.06 at 9:56 pm

Happy Thanksgiving Hammie! I always feel just like this on Thanksgiving…my.mouth.must.open. wider!

80 Aubrey 09.12.06 at 9:59 pm

Mmmmmmmmm…Thanksgiving…must plan menu…

81 Mariana 09.12.06 at 10:05 pm

It wouldn’t be half as funny without the brilliant caption! Thanks for the laugh. :)

82 MamaDawn 09.12.06 at 10:15 pm

I had an onion loaf just like that in Branson MO just last week. My 18 year old looked just like this lil’ hamster as he chowed down. It’s like a square “bloomin onion” and you’re right, it’s deliciously evil.

83 renee 09.12.06 at 10:21 pm

AAAhhhhhh!! I feel Grape!!

84 Theo 09.12.06 at 10:25 pm

MamaDawn — this is what really disturbs me: The “onion loaf” looks suspiciously like it was what came out, when they opened that “Dibs” tub.

85 Teughcats 09.12.06 at 10:26 pm

Welcome back to Lohan Roberto and slepping Atreyu!

Theo, any update on Lorna and the Dooneses? Do they have forever homes yet? Are you getting another set to foster?

86 Geek Squad 09.12.06 at 10:41 pm

That is so funny!!!!

HAHAHA ROFL!!

87 Two Sheds Jackson 09.12.06 at 10:44 pm

Theo – So not the magic bus this time then?

88 ka9q's wife 09.12.06 at 10:46 pm

omg that is hilarious.
That last one reminds me of some star being caught pigging out by the National Enquirer. I can see it now…
Johnny Hamster star of the hit movie Big Wheels Keep On Turning is caught after a 2 oz weight gain eating a grape the size of his head. His Publicists explains he is beefing up for his new big role.

89 Livbert 09.12.06 at 10:50 pm

GALLLLGH!!! Perfect! I love that word.
&& cute name too! Moose. -giggles-

90 greenighs 09.12.06 at 10:50 pm

He’s gonna get stretch marks on his cheekses!

91 Donna 09.12.06 at 10:52 pm

Why didn’t the person just break the grape into pieces when they saw the hamster was having trouble? Did they want the little guy to vapor lock and pass out?

92 ceebs 09.12.06 at 10:56 pm

Theo you are racking me up.
My holesterol count just went up 30 points just looking at that onion loaf. And I can’t even imagine what type of loaf it would creat, once eaten.
[shudders]
weet fancy moses, heo, were you perchance looking at any Seinfeld videos on my blog today, or is that a mere coinkidink?

93 Theo 09.12.06 at 10:58 pm

2SJ — apparently, I caaaaaan’t haveit.

Aubrey — won’t throw in the towel, ’til I buy a vowel…

94 Theo 09.12.06 at 11:01 pm

Ceebs — holesterol?? By crackity, I think you spelled that *right*!

(and nopes… no Seinfeld for Theo)

95 ceebs 09.12.06 at 11:03 pm

I posted a video of Elaine doing “the little kicks” and at the end George says “SFM” I just watched it again today, cracks me up every time!

96 Theo 09.12.06 at 11:34 pm

“Sweet Fancy Moses” is used here, sometimes:
http://www.userfriendly.org/

97 BenPanced 09.12.06 at 11:41 pm

Hammy Heimlich! I’m so glad humans don’t have food pouches. I’d attempt to do the same thing.

98 mariser 09.12.06 at 11:49 pm

T., not that it matters, but my 2:10PM ticket reference was more like “here’s your ticket, you are going to he*l” for being such a meanie.
;)

99 Theo 09.12.06 at 11:57 pm

I *know*.
Just wanted to see you squirm a little.
;)

100 Aubrey 09.13.06 at 12:03 am

To prevent a Theo scowl
I’ll make a presentation of a vowel:

However, to follow tradition, it will be buried inside this plum pudding, which I will be serving to all my peeps. Finders keepers, etc.

Can you punch my ticket, please, Mariser?

101 R. Moore 09.13.06 at 12:08 am

This reminded me of the time I was helping some of the new volunteers where at the museum I volunteer at taking care of small pet animals. The hamster was, upon inspection, found to have a tumor. Then it magically disappeared. Hmm… ;)

102 cheez 09.13.06 at 12:14 am

my old roommate in ny and i had a mouse (not a pet) in our apartment and we named him moose. you don’t wanna know what happened to him :(

this little guy reminds me of when i give my hamster a dog treat that’s just about that big and she’s an expert at it now.

103 chet's momma 09.13.06 at 12:18 am

what is eet about the faux fronshe accent that ees so funny?

104 mariser 09.13.06 at 12:18 am

T.,

oooooh, you….
caught in my own trap. that’ll teach me.

105 Jesbur 09.13.06 at 1:16 am

omg! Meg and cuteoverload.com in Bust magazine! “You got cuteness in my feminist magazine!” “You got feminism in my cuteoverload!” Hurray!

106 Clotypus 09.13.06 at 1:32 am

Whoa! That hammy has some testicular fortitude going on in that first pic! LOL

107 jaypo 09.13.06 at 1:51 am

OMG, t-o, that tring of inks to the cut-and-paste meister is too funny!

108 Nadine the Hammie Mommie 09.13.06 at 4:02 am

OMG, that’s so cute!

It’s gonna be the healthiest hamster to consume such a huge grape!

:D

WTG, Hammie!

BTW, I also have one (I mean one hamster, not one grape) at home. Wondering if mine wants to eat grapes…

109 Cels 09.13.06 at 4:53 am

grown people don’t giggle this much. it’s not normal.

110 ka9q's wife 09.13.06 at 5:41 am

so if you squeezed Moose after he got the grape in would the grape fly across the room if you squeezed him a little?

Just askin’.

111 Tilly 09.13.06 at 9:25 am

Aw bless!

I had a hamster called Calvin. He used to try and shove as many bits of carrot into his cheeks as possible and then he’d fall over because he underestimated on the weight ratio.

112 hrh.squeak 09.13.06 at 10:11 am

Tilly – Laughed till I choked.
Please please tell me you took pictures.

113 Lauri 09.13.06 at 10:26 am

Awwwww a hammie being TEWtally a hammie! Aeeeeeeee!

114 RJ 09.13.06 at 1:52 pm

But, but…what happens next??? Does he make it? Does it make a giant grape bulge in his widdle tummy? Does he give birth? (oh, sorry, that was Project Runway)…

115 Carlisa 09.13.06 at 2:27 pm

Haha! Love the captions.
So a-Moose-ing :o P
*sorry! please to rotten maters!

116 Carlisa 09.13.06 at 2:29 pm

oops….NO rotten maters :o )

117 Inge 09.13.06 at 3:20 pm

I’m missing a FIFTH photo!?If there is no such one,PLEASE try again!My hamster could take TWO grapes (but that was before dig. camera).

118 the girl 09.13.06 at 3:44 pm

Gah! What happened next? More! MORE!

119 Tiffany 09.13.06 at 4:49 pm

LMAO at that last one.

120 benvenuta 09.13.06 at 7:16 pm

Oh dear.

121 Lauri 09.13.06 at 8:24 pm

No worries, Carlisa! No rotten maters around here for exchellent punnage, we loves da puns!

122 Sabina 09.13.06 at 9:41 pm

What an oinker! Must be seedless! Love him!

123 Theo 09.13.06 at 10:07 pm

Lauri — um… maybe in the same way that some folks love unbearably spicy food.

“Come on baby, make it hurt so good…”

124 Lauri 09.13.06 at 11:15 pm

Yeah, teho, I know…why is that? A little latent masochism, no doubt! But, it IS suhc fun.

Gad, the slepping chronicls are racking me up!

125 Mike Kanyo 09.14.06 at 12:39 am

*~POP~*
