    Now that is what I call “pressed ham.”

  2. earlybird1 says:

    What they don’t tell you is there’s another whole layer underneath. Just like those heart shaped boxes of chocolates. :)

  3. earlybird1 says:

    Also, I LOVE the one on the bottom right… paws up and on his back. SO ADORABUHLS!

  4. aurelia says:

    very cute I would love to have a kitten!!

  5. Camaleao says:

    Holy moly. This may sound bad… but I want to stick my face in that mess.
    *snorgle nom nom nom*

    • Skip says:

      That was my first thought, too, Camaleao!

    • Mary (the first) says:

      I also thought of that but wondered if they would be askeered and maybe bite a little. That soft fur is soooo tempting, though.

    • 6Rabbits says:

      Ditto on the first thought! (You’d really need to hold them all, though, or have them in a shallower container.) Cute beyond belief!

  6. SlaveToCat says:

    Frantically waves Pom Poms from the bottom of the Hammie pile……..Heaven must be a giant snorgle of hammie piles.

  7. Queen of Dork says:

    I always thought this was the scientific term for only a litter of kittens (as my late sister Lulu declared firmly. by the way, her birthday would have been tomorrow and I believe CO’s birthday is also Sept 26th? As well as Theresa’s?) but I think it applies here as well. *ahem*

    Wow! Yay! Ooodles and oodles of skoodle boodles!

    (happily throws confetti)

    ahem. end.

  8. gizmo says:

    Oh, say can you see!

  9. SlaveToCat says:

    Please tell me they are all still alive. I get nervous when I don’t see the little guys moving. ?:>)

    • Ayaa says:

      First thing I thought of was that these are all males, and somewhere there’s one scraggly female wondering what just happened :P

      • Fird Birfle says:

        “Shortly after Ms. Hammie had given birth to the last infant, the Outrageousness Police interviewed Mr. Hammie. After they showed him DNA evidence, PROVING that every single infant born WAS indeed a child of HIS, Mr. Hammie swallowed hard about three times.

        He was then heard to say, “See…..wha’ ha’ happ’ — wuz …..”

  10. Nikki says:

    The little one the bottom right of the photo, on its back with the teeny pink dot of a nose and the dainty paws is soooooo cute! Ack!!

  11. LyndaLu says:

    Are they hamsters or gerbils?

  12. Carrie says:

    Can we get an enhance on the little guy in the bottom right corner please! Soooooo freakin cute!

  13. Guinea Peeg Lover says:

    I counted twenty-three.

  14. Sam says:

    Robo Hamsters.

  15. Gigi says:

    Furry carpet of cuteness!!!

  16. minty says:

    all those hammies piled up makes me feel a little cruella deville.

    I LIVE for fur!
    *muahahahahaha*

  17. Grayed says:

    WHY IS EVERY SINGLE ONE SLEEPING? D:

  18. Starfish says:

    Yay, hampile! *jumps in*

  19. Fird Birfle says:

    Um, just speaking from a STRICTLY medical/ veterinarian vantage, here,
    pyrit, I would rather suggest giving [the little fuzzy guize and galz] BREATH, and after that, there will be PLENTY of time, to concern ourselves, with their liberty……

    Signed,
    Jus’ sayin’ …..
    *hums tune*

  20. Ham mosh pit!!!

  21. Zeki says:

    Oooh, my. I love the ones who only have their little noses peeking out. Sometimes I worry they’re going to suffocate a few of their friends when they do this.

  22. Rosewolf says:

    The feet! The FEET!!! blargle…snaf…meidl…< – me being overwhelmed and trying not to choke to death on rice)

    The tiny noses…oh…so much hamster goodness!

  23. Chris says:

    “One of these things looks just like the other…”

    (oh, the teenie tiny noses!!)

  24. muffy says:

    At first this is a wee bit horrifying to me because, well, LOTS OF RODENTS. But then splayed Ham on Top and paws-up Ham on Back won me over.

  25. JenDeyan says:

    It seems many a tiny furry critter snuggles up like this in the wild. I’d think these little guys are a-okay. Robo hams compactly packaged for your convenience.

  26. Lucy's Mommeh says:

    It cracks me p watching these little gys buzzing around at the speed of light. They must have been doing that, then suddenly there was a mass passout. In a little bit, the frantic scrambling with re-commence.

  27. junemrc says:

    can you imagine how soft and glorious it would be to just stick your hand in there and pet the entire pile??

  28. Terri says:

    Oh, want to snorgle…anyone else think of Tribbles?

  29. occula says:

    Awwww, Mister Bottom Right Upside Downswers, I love you!

  30. flutterby says:

    Yes, and it looks as though he’s smilingk too!

  31. Ali-Baba says:

    This is what happened AFTER The Hamster Dance!
    Beep-a-bee-bop-bee-bah-doh-doh, bee-bop-bee-bah,doh! ;-)

  32. Pex says:

    Can we get a ham-hance on the little guy in the bottom right please? And maybe a close up on the tocks in the middle?

  33. Anne says:

    Mucho adorables-we got our girl a Robo 2 years ago and unfortunately it had a nasty, bitey disposition. I know that most are sweet. Perhaps we’ll try again after seeing this pic.

  34. chanpon says:

    Cute area rug. Do they sell one big enough for a 20 x 20 room?

  35. doylecat says:

    Oh Noes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  36. Mojo says:

    I’ll take two scoops, thanks!

  37. Jamie Chow says:
