That boy is a P-I-G pig! [say in shocked voice]

by Meg on June 20, 2007

As long as he doesn’t spit it all out when he’s done stuffing, I’m OK with this:

What’s really scary is that he/she’s looking for more….

2 Sarah Lynn 06.20.07 at 4:25 pm

I really enjoy saving my broccolis for later, too. Do I have anything in my teeth?

3 Christina 06.20.07 at 4:31 pm

*squeeeee*
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh

*ded*

4 Annie 06.20.07 at 4:32 pm

More More More Someone quick take that hammy to the ham cave so he can unload and then take him back for more loading up goodies.

5 Christina 06.20.07 at 4:32 pm

One of my absolute favorite critters eating my favorite vegetable. Perfect.

6 Redzilla 06.20.07 at 4:38 pm

You notice how when hammy stuffs the biggest piece in, his eyes kind of bulge? [shudder]

7 liz 06.20.07 at 4:40 pm

fits so nicely in
hammy cheek pouches.
this is just too cute!

1. i love how the hammy begins to bulge on either side as he kronsches on the brocc

2. i love the KRONSCHE when he eats the big chunk of brocc

3. i love how the hammy LICKS THE BOWL for the last brocc bits

9 Lisa 06.20.07 at 4:40 pm

Aaah, the devastated look on his face once the plate is empty.

10 pny 06.20.07 at 4:41 pm

I’d like a nice big belch at the end.

11 Fuzzybutt 06.20.07 at 4:43 pm

I gave my hammie a little taste of BBQ chicken. From that day forward he kept trying to shove my finger in his pouch.

12 luvinmalssomuch 06.20.07 at 4:45 pm

What No Cheese on that?
No Butter even.

13 Denita TwoDragons 06.20.07 at 4:50 pm

He’s got Cheek Pouches of Holding!

Yeah, I’m a geek… ;-)

14 Aoife 06.20.07 at 4:52 pm

Watch out! He’s going to ’splode!

15 KittyGogo 06.20.07 at 4:57 pm

Just WOW. That’s it. WOW!

16 LisaN 06.20.07 at 5:04 pm

I used to love it when my hammy would stuff everything in his pouch for hiding when I was a kid. LOVE IT!!!

17 Kellie 06.20.07 at 5:07 pm

oh man i was waiting for him to try to stuff the bowl in next!!!

>Fuzzybutt< hehehe i like that mental image!!

18 a different Laura 06.20.07 at 5:10 pm

Oh how cute! Is he eating it or stuffing it in his mouf?

Reminds me of my Clover bunny when she eats. We call her Hoover because she eats so fast!

19 Babs 06.20.07 at 5:11 pm

Holy crap, that’s awesome. This ham is my new hero.

20 Peg of Tilling 06.20.07 at 5:13 pm

“…and he stepped up on the box and start’d chewing broccoli–
Florets, that is
Swimmin’ pools, movie stars…”

21 jaypo 06.20.07 at 5:16 pm

o.m.g. scuse me while I faint. *thud*

22 Christopher 06.20.07 at 5:17 pm

Whoa! I have never seen someone enjoy broccoli so much! I mean, he was even looking for _more_.

23 jaypo 06.20.07 at 5:19 pm

Hammie food-ku:

“Chomp n’chew, nawm nawm.”
Hammies lof their broccolis
pouch-sized, for later.

24 Mello 06.20.07 at 5:37 pm

Stop, fatty!

25 RevWaldo 06.20.07 at 5:38 pm

(thump, thump, thump)
“POLICE! OPEN UP!”
“SH*T! Quick man, hide the stuff!”
(crash)
“Alright, punk! Where’ya hiding it?”
“mmmm mmmm mmmmm mmm!”

26 Mello 06.20.07 at 5:50 pm

OK, now he’s heavy enough to fling out the window. Get a little red helmet.

27 gizmo 06.20.07 at 5:51 pm

Why couldn’t I have had one of those things when I was a kid and my mom tried to force us to each our broccoli? It would have even fit in my pocket where I stuffed the broccoli anyway.

28 weensicka 06.20.07 at 5:52 pm

Holy cow! Is this footage like time elapsed or something?!

I can’t believe he ate the whole thing! CO has rekindled my love affair of small rodents.

29 cropsy 06.20.07 at 5:53 pm

hes storing it for later, when he will empty it in a secret place in his cage.
and eat it as a midnight snack.

30 Also a Geek 06.20.07 at 5:54 pm

Denita TwoDragons, your comment almost made me choke on my lunch. Ha!

31 Nancy 06.20.07 at 5:54 pm

yumeeeeeeee brocleeeee!

32 Robbie 06.20.07 at 6:10 pm

Dang, that ham gives a whole new meaning to “stuffing yourself.” And after all that stuffing, he’s rooting around for more!

33 caitlin 06.20.07 at 6:23 pm

Hahaha! I remember the days of having a hammy… we fed him scraps from when we cut up vegetables.

We didn’t have a stylish serving presentation like this, though! Love the leetle deesh.

34 Sandy 06.20.07 at 6:43 pm

There must be something in broccoli! It’s also my dwarf hamsters’ all time favorite.

My hamsters are just as big as this guy’s cheeks in the end of that tape though. :D

35 BeeCee 06.20.07 at 6:44 pm

oh mello…no you deee-dint!

36 Chris B. 06.20.07 at 6:55 pm

Now we know why they call them ‘Pocket Pets’. I hope this hammy’s name is Hoover because he really cleaned it up.

37 ali 06.20.07 at 7:09 pm

The mouse-hover caption made me choke on my lunch. I loved that skit!

38 Jules 06.20.07 at 7:12 pm

Those aren’t muzzlepuffs, they’re shoulder pads!

39 firefinch 06.20.07 at 7:14 pm

Reminds me of watching my husband eat (except that he wouldn’t touch broccoli with the proverbial 10-foot pole).

40 Mello 06.20.07 at 7:25 pm

BeeCee, oh, I did! ;D

Why aren’t you people complaining about the broccoli that may suffocate the poor, innocent hamster?! EVIL VEGGIES!!

41 donutbill 06.20.07 at 7:30 pm

MY GOD!! Where did all that broccoli go??!!!??

42 Kate B. 06.20.07 at 7:32 pm

I’m loving this too much! I remember when I was a kid and wanted a hamster, but decided it would be too much trouble to care for. Had I known hams could eat broccoli…

43 Theo 06.20.07 at 7:34 pm

Kate — just remember, your ham can eat broccoli, but never attempt the reverse.

44 Fuzzybutt 06.20.07 at 7:55 pm

One time Gilbert got out of his tank and got into the wall. I did everything to coax him out.

A few hours later, I spied him out of the corner of my eye waddling toward me. He was covered in plaster dust. I got his water bottle and food dish and he went to town.

After his cheeks were thoroughly full (I bet he would have sounded like a maracara had I shook him) I placed him back in his tank with the lid securely in place. He jumped and chittered up a storm! He wanted back in the wall! He only came out for provisions!

45 lurkertype 06.20.07 at 8:02 pm

“He’s chompin’ broccoliiii…”

46 cutebabyfix.com 06.20.07 at 8:14 pm

With the new, improved Hampsternator 2000 you too can chop yer broccolees in under a minute. You seemply put it in this adorable tiny dish, and walla! The broccolees, she is…wait a minute, where’d it go!!??!!

47 furbabies 06.20.07 at 8:26 pm

I loves me some broccoli and so does the hammie.

48 Agnes 06.20.07 at 8:31 pm

Hamsteren!!!!

49 Loris 06.20.07 at 8:50 pm

And *that* is why you are #1 Choice Of Hamsters!

50 Theresa 06.20.07 at 9:16 pm

Do you know the Broccoli Song?

“Broccoliiiiiiiiiiiii!
Broccolaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Broccoliiiiiiiiiiii!
Brocolah
ha
ha
ha
haha!”

51 Carol Rose Parker 06.20.07 at 9:40 pm

Does that much broccoli give little hams gas?

52 mlle_x 06.20.07 at 9:58 pm

For those of us who’ve never roomed with hams, that is a shocking! revelation.

53 metsakins 06.20.07 at 10:01 pm

lurkertype – I loved that skit…

54 Annie 06.20.07 at 10:17 pm

Theresa, LOL You are a bad Girl. GO to your room young lady.

55 Shaz 06.20.07 at 10:20 pm

Aww! This guy looks exactly like my dearly departed hammie Ernie. I think Ernie was bigger, though…he was a huge hamster…lol. Ernie used to get out of his cage and walk among my cats. The cats ignored him.

56 MamaLana 06.20.07 at 10:35 pm

now THAT was cute!!

57 Golden Phoenix 06.20.07 at 11:14 pm

Omg! The Kronche! The KRONCHE!

Sooo cute… :D *pets her female hamsters Ryan and Colin.*

(Slight hiccup with the naming)

58 Brak_Silverbone 06.20.07 at 11:20 pm

That’s some pretty impressive broccoli-bogarting!

59 R. Moore 06.20.07 at 11:39 pm

I once had to calm two panicked junior volunteers that the hamster didn’t have cancer. It had cheek pouches stuffed with lettuce.

60 musicchick2 06.21.07 at 12:37 am

I wanna hear the Dana Carvey broccoli song now. Here it is!! http://www.danacarvey.net/media/broccoli.wav
Whoo Hoo!! LURVE it!

61 metsakins 06.21.07 at 1:42 am

really cute…

62 wolfwhocriedboy 06.21.07 at 3:23 am

OMG, I thought my little-ones were piggies. ;) Not all that strange for Syrian Hammies. My babies always, “stuff first, ask questions later.” ;)

Uber CUTE!

63 Annie 06.21.07 at 3:43 am

MC2 very funny. Sheeees Chopping Brocoooooolaeeeeee

64 Shannon 06.21.07 at 5:14 am

Holy COW!!! I’ve never had one of these little guys, but wow! They can really pack it away. I had no idea….

65 The Honourable Gladys Anstruther 06.21.07 at 5:53 am

Hammie, the green alternative to waste disposal.

66 Shaz 06.21.07 at 8:08 am

I’m still cracking up at hamsters named Colin and Ryan…

67 J. Bo 06.21.07 at 11:08 am

…and I thought I was fond of broccoli…

68 Webbess 06.21.07 at 4:43 pm

Even hammies eat their vegetables!

LOL. It is broccoli! Not potato chips! Who calls that piggish?

69 Loves Cute 06.21.07 at 7:38 pm

“please, suh, may i have some more?”

We used to babysit a friend’s hammie. We used to give it grapes. It could pack in several at a time!

… the cage sure got smelly fast afterwards tho’ …

70 .:*kray~z gurl*:. 06.21.07 at 9:16 pm

75 Rika 06.22.07 at 10:14 pm

Is that little guy even chewing??

76 Anonymous 06.22.07 at 11:00 pm

the only thing that can top this is the speed eating bunny vid from way back when

77 Crazy Rainbow Star 06.23.07 at 9:49 pm

This little guy took the one food I hate, and made it look good. I couldn’t help but giggle at this.
