I’ll be in the Ball Sauna. Eating some cheese.

According to the Sender-Inners, "Butters" the hamster can often be located by furious chomping sounds emanating from behind the furniture.

Cheers, Alun, Juliet and Butters!

    He looks kinda evil, in an adorable way, “…and from this hidey-hole, I shall rule teh world with mah cyute! Bwahahaha.”

  2. Whitney says:

    How cute! I love ham-a-lams.

  3. fluffernugget says:

    What a perfect little hammy hut. I am sensing a little stink eye though. “Touch my cheese and there will be consequences!”

  4. Suzanne says:

    A “little” stink eye, Fluffer? No that look is full on “Touch my cheese and DIE! And btw…when I say gouda, I mean the GOOD deli stuff…but this will do for now.”

    Love the freckling on the bridge of his nose.

  5. Jezebel says:

    He’s not evil, he’s just annoyed, he’s like “What? Can I get a minute to myself–puh-leeze!”.

    The definition of having a ball.

  7. metsakins says:

    Hamster tongue!

  8. HB says:

    I love the name – it’s my kittens name as well! Short for Butterscotch Puddin’! : )

  9. ju-ju bean says:

    He’s got leeeetle white arms (aka armies).

  10. pyrit says:

    Hammies in space!
    Yep, moon’s made of cheese alright.

  11. punkpie says:

    Kinda looks like a macaroni noodle to me….?

  12. Berg says:

    I shudder to think at what would happen if you tried to take the cheese away… I imagine it would be absolute carnage. Great picture!

  13. Annie says:

    Stupid hameratsie always annoying we famous hams to take pictures and those rude TMZ people yelling out STUPID questions. As if the did not know I was in Hams in Space… Ham of the Wild Frontier… and Hamio and Julieham..

  14. DKN says:

    OMG…this was SO me at Spa Castle this weekend. *sniff*

  15. Gail (the first one) says:

    Awww, hammie having a little nosh while taking a shpritz!

  16. Theresa says:

    He does look like he is in his evil command center.

  17. Katrina says:

    He’ll be changing his location soon, so you can’t contact him easily-I understand. He’s just a hidey hammie!

  18. PJ says:

    I’m speechless. I just don’t want to know what went into “the making of” (how DO YOU pack a hammie into a sauna?).

  19. heather says:

    I seem to call all animals, including my huge long haired grumpy “old-man-in-a-catsuit” kitty, “Butters.” They seem to like it!

  20. Birdcage says:

    Potential new rule of cuteness here, peeps! When your whiskers reach from one side to the other of the doorway to yur ball-shaped space, tis cute!!!!

  21. Bazor says:

    He’s adorable, again, in a little evil sort of way.
    “No, Mister Cat, I expect you to DIE!”

  22. kestrien says:

    My kitty’s name is Butters tooooo!

  23. Juliet says:

    Thats my hammy Butters! He sleeps in that pod, and we had detached it to clean the rest of his cage when we took this pic.

    He loves cheese, beans and lettuce.

  24. Von Zeppelin says:

    Looks a little like Dave in his space pod from “2001: A Space Odyssey.” Except for the cheese, of course.

  25. DKN says:

    Good show Juliet! Good show! (And great name, btw)

  26. Golden says:

    BUTTERS! That is hilarious. My cat, Maximo, seems to have some sort of weird craving for butter. He won’t eat ANY human food (no fish, no NOTHIN) but leave a stick of butter out on the counter… You will come back to teeenny teefus marks and tongue impressions all up on the butter. So. Point of my story. His name is now Maximo Butters.

  27. Joy says:

    My first dwarf hamster loved butter. If I wasn’t careful, I would find her lapping up butter. Another hamster adored Asiago cheese to the point I had to give it to him daily. Currently, all hammies and dog go nuts for chicken so every week, I have to cook a batch of chicken for the furry babies.

  28. nismo says:

    Not just little white arms, but little pink hands too!

  29. chanpon says:

    How often does the hammie molt?

  30. Potty Mouth Princess says:

    Dawww! My hammy’s name is Butters too!

  31. Carolyn J. says:

    “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.”

  32. Birdcage says:

    Why is he all steamy like a dim sum dumpling?

  33. Annie says:

    He’s eyes burn their disdain for all humans into my brain! ; )

  34. lawyergirl77 says:

    The Bolt reference in the hovertext made my day!! Let it begin! Let it BEGIN!!!

    *SIGH* Where did my life go so wrong that I can’t spend a day in a small ball eating cheese?? I clearly made the wrong choices…

  35. kar says:

    Ground control to Major Tom…

  36. Juliet says:

    He’s all steamy because he likes to pee in his bed, although poos get kicked out.

    He has a wet nose from cleaning

  37. Cameron says:

    “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.”

    I’m afraid I can’t do that, Butters.

  38. Theo says:

    WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS? YOU’RE DESTROYING MY MIND

  39. Space Cowgirl says:

    Everyone together now: HAM AND CHEESE.

  40. Virág says:

    He’s a Super Shaiyan in his ball! (remember the DragonBall episodes)

  41. Heather says:

    Cute lips!

  42. Marie says:

    Is it just me or are these hammies getting more handsome! Such sweethearts.

  43. katiehov says:

    oh man, i have wanted to call a pet butters (after the wimpy little guy on southpark) for so long. that or meatwad.

  44. berthaservant says:

    That’s not Butters, silly peeps.

    It’s PROFESSOR CHAOS in his pod of immortality!!!

  45. Subhangi says:

    Butters is such a perfect name for this roly-poly hamball!

  46. LWJ says:

    GET OUT OF MY HEAD CHARLES

  47. mocax says:

    he’s just returned from space in his tiny space capsule…

  48. Bunnypoo says:

    It’s so moistee inside that ham ball! Fresh out the sauna…precious.

  49. Elanor says:

    Big disapproval on tiny face! My hams throw me this look when I bother them out of their nap for a widdle cuddle.

  50. spb says:

    chanpon… no, hammies do not molt

  51. Theo says:

    …because that’d mean they’d be ADOLESCENT CHICKENS. Braaawk.
