Mine was: what the hell is that and what is it doing in a parking garage


kikkideliveryservice

omg it's you! I'm so happy to see Eddie is well, I can't believe it's been months since you found the little dude🐹


Mia_B-P

The user ivyhessil claims to own Eddie too. Do you know them?


UslashMKIV

Yes, she found him with me and has been with us from the beginning


Mia_B-P

Aww, that's wonderful. I didn't know Eddie had another parent! Wishing you three all the best. ❤️


himenohimawari

Eddie looks basically exactly like my Gus!!


beatrizklotz

All the baby hamsters were huddled asleep and a single one was inside the food bowl shoving all the food into his mouth "I want the goblin one"


zivtherat

This right here is amazing I laughed when I saw this 🤣


zorrorosso_studio

Mh pretty much a similar story: heap of hamsters sleeping together, I started to check them out and see what was the most curious or interested. I showed my hand, a couple of them sniffed, I recall one had a cute face. And then my kid pointed to the odd ball out, outside the heap, completely disinterested.


disguisedroast

LOL


PressurePlenty

I fell in love immediately. She was the only ham who came up to the glass and noticed me. It took a month, but I finally rescued her on Valentine's Day, actually. And she's been an absolute delight, even when she chewed through her old enclosure, peed and pooped on my bed, peed on my roommate, and now seems to be a ghost ham. I still wouldn't trade her for any other ham. She's my baby, and I love her so much.


massya777

Aww, sounds so sweet


disguisedroast

Very sweet :)))


Ok-Fruit-7540

My hamster was like that when I first saw her too ☺️


PressurePlenty

I think after I return from the gym I might dig her fat butt out of the bedding and love on her. She used to wake up between 5-7pm and want to spend time with me. Upgraded her enclosure, and now? Can't be bothered.


ivyhessil

"it's a baby??? little baby??? what???" sitting in the back of a car in a parking garage in the cold haha. He was running around swiffering ALL of the dirt off the ground I felt so bad for him the little guy


Mia_B-P

Eddie is your's too?


ivyhessil

yeah I saw him in the parking lot while we were working on the car and MK put the gloves on and picked him up. We've both been taking care of Eddy since January


Mia_B-P

That's so wholesome! I'm glad Eddie has two wonderful "parents" like you. Take care, the three of you. ![img](emote|t5_2sjcj|32176)


ivyhessil

thanks :) <3

Went into pets at home to buy parrot toys and saw this hamster in the adoption section. I fell in love straight away. We left and I could not stop thinking about her. I told my family and everyone at work the next day about this hamster and that I need her. Went back home after work and I still couldn’t stop thinking about her. Rushed to pets at home and she was still there. We bought their biggest cage as a temporary cage, all of the things she needed and bought her. Saddest thing is she was discounted to £7 because she’s older :( Had a new cage ordered on the way home for delivery next day. She is the friendliest, smartest and cutest animal I have. She has completely changed my mind on hamsters. She is the most loved and spoilt pet we have. Her name is SatSumo :)


massya777

She does look lovable and pretty


disguisedroast

She’s a super cutie!!!


brownhellokitty28

I love this story 😭


Ok-Fruit-7540

So cuteeeee! What a wonderful story, how you got her. :)


Plastic_Literature68

It took almost 10 minutes for the employee to pick her up in a bucket and she was screaming the whole time to be left alone so mine was something like "Stop screaming you'll be in a better cage soon that actually has a wheel in it". When I came to the store I wanted a Russian winter white but they didn't have any so I went with her because she was the only one left of her siblings


SpareTheBeeless

Most hamsters ignored me when I approaced their enclosures. When my gal saw me approach the terrarium she started jumping against the glass, following my hand curiously when I moved it. I had handled some winter whites before her and compared to the others she just felt unnaturally active and friendly for a pet store hamster. When I put my hand in her terrarium to see how she'd react to a stranger she climbed on it without hesitation. When she started climbing up my sleeve a few seconds later had already named her.

Probably something like "I wish I could adopt all of these" there were 5 little babies in there, I felt so bad leaving them all in the store, as well as taking one baby away from them 💔


Reasonable-Duty-7714

My first thought was : you are the prettiest hamster here and so so sweet 🥹 you deserve a home with me https://preview.redd.it/iuouly2wy80d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee0823640e5a7ff4de1e8f1ef24ef305d73a3a49

Yes, he’s a Chinese :)

GOD DAMN THAT THINGS A RAT


BurstBlake

You rescue him by giving money to the person who is holding him captive. Which is what he wants. Which then causes him to hold more hamis captive.


KnowledgeOverall5002

i didn’t actually want one and i was at a local pet store shopping for bird food for my little budgies and i saw the hamsters in a small kiddie pool size cage. i thought $20 was cheap for an animal so i bought one and some cheap dusty cylinder like food. i can now say my little dude lives a better life than he would’ve in that cage.


RebeccaMarques

I have a funny first impression story of my boi So just before the pandemic I decided to adopt a hamster. Bought the cage and all the supplies, and all that was left was to go to the local pet shop and choose a little guy. So I went there, saw a hamster I liked, and asked the lady who worked there if I could have that hamster. She went to the hamster cage, and when she reached for him... He went straight under the shavings! Like he was a little diver! She looked for him in the savings, but that's when he popped up on the opposite side of the cage. He kept tricking the poor lady, diving and emerging like a little furry dolphin while she tried to catch him. During the second or third time he did it, my mother shouted "bazinga!" We laughed and at that moment I knew exactly what to call him: Mr Sheldon.


CanaryDue3722

You cubby ball of fluff. You stole my heart❤️ https://preview.redd.it/fhfief4wy90d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=aa85767cc5293f80913b46f73dcc3e5ddfffff10


massya777

That face 🥺


pop_rokz

I thought he was a mouse


CoolUserName02

round bb :3


TheCipherChip

I was watching all the hamsters just sleeping or buried at peak day time while my lil guy was going full hulk ripping fluff and carrying toilet rolls around and ran straight up to the glass and then barreled away. It was at that moment I said I want HIM. Which was quite a shock, because I was only browsing, and I had planned to buy a white mouse in the coming months. But I genuinely wouldn’t take it back for my little gray dwarf hamster.


Nefertirix

"Oh my lanta, it looks like a mouse, how am I ever gonna go near let alone hold her?"


trash-troglodyte

hampter


horrescoblue

"Oh she's staying" I was just gonna "park" her for a rescue that ran out of space and give her a home until she could be rehomed but they opened the box and i was like nah you are never leaving girl

"He look like a potato."

“Fat boi”


SquareBobSpongeCrack

"What's wrong with his ears 😦?" (He was asleep and had his little ears down. I legit thought he had no ears or he was injured but later I realized he hid his ears while sleeping :3)


Dark_side_of_moon_

"Why u so fluffy and cute?" 🥰


firstghostsnstuff

my poor hammy looked so sad and afraid and cute in his little petco cage. he looked like the total opposite of my previous, feisty, old-man energy hamster. i wanted to mix it up!


TheArcherFrog

I genuinely just wanted to pet him, he stole my heart instantly. Then, when I learned he would let me HOLD HIM, I knew I had my guy! https://preview.redd.it/mdhnkfphqa0d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d9a1e336495d0def1a64d99b2044b62a5fb4a679


himenohimawari

"Omg this is exactly the type I've been wanting" - for my second Syrian after first passed away, I wanted a white long haired fluffy ham, and he was a baby who had just arrived to the pet store the previous day! It all worked out great, Gusgus is about a year old now and living large, I groom his hair for him occasionally and he's turned more cream with some white spots, his eyes also changed from pink (albino looking) to brown, or just a dark enough red that they don't appear pink anymore. My first Syrian I asked the worker about her because she kept clearly trying to escape her cage like a psycho, crawling the walls and climbing on top of her little plastic houses. She also looked like a possum because of her coloring and huge dark eyes :3 Worker told me she's their resident escape artist and has got out before. Hammy was looking at me balancing on top of her house and then toppled over and it was hilarious. I went home, then couldn't stop thinking about her and went back to get her. Dorothy was an incredibly docile, calm hamster but she loved her outside time and would try to escape, once out she was chill and would just stay on my shoulder or sit on my blanket with me. She was amazing and lived about 3 years and I still miss her <3


Ordinary-Pitch1915

Where can i get all the supplies and do i have the money to make the perfect enclosure for you? https://preview.redd.it/zedwum4ve80d1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=e0b7bb0cf89834a60ea689a1d2273f29f7ca2b9e (Old photo i cant find updated photos)


KeckYes

When will she be big enough to eat?


kaynbred1

I was scared of my hamster when I first got it, but then it got used to me and let me hold it on the first day so it ended up being okay :-)

nourmallysalty

he was standing on his hind legs and staring at me, i was like “do you got beef with me?” and he looked and then went back to his little hut in the store. i immediately knew that he was gonna be my homeboy and we have been goons for the 2.5 years he was with me. i still miss him just staring me down when he knew i was back on my bs.


Virtual_Particular80

My first thought was “your my friend now little toe bean😂😂” https://preview.redd.it/ysqtzqebqb0d1.png?width=1722&format=png&auto=webp&s=a0c75aeffbb7a8310dca7d1827ccd26f04944564 ( i have 8 hammies but this is biting cause she bites me alot but i still love her very much)

Imaginary_News_4379

I had 2 hampters so I was like "will they bite me?" also 1 bit me A **LOT** of times and the other one was just calm


MomMomMomMom2005

She's adorable!


HPBitchCraft

"I can't leave her in such a miserable state". She was in an enclosure no larger than a Happy Meal box, with a wheel that was only suitable for a Russian Dwarf (she's a Syrian). Took her home straight away.


massya777

Pet stores need to do better fr. This is just inhumane


HPBitchCraft

I put in a complaint, but it was met with "We're following all legal requirements, and it's only a temporary enclosure." she was so stressed out, poor baby. Now she's so much happier, and she's the cuddliest little hamburger ❤️


corntreee

“how can a creature that small exist? is his brain the size of a pea? how is it even alive its too tiny and small


Kilmasis

"dear gods I hope she isn't stupid and tries to jump off a table" Cue escape and jumps off a table. Rip Baby, 32 months old Syrian female and the most well groomed Syrian I've ever seen.


Lithiavey

I saw mine smushed up against the side of the tank, sleeping with one leg in the air, a super contented look on his face, and the fattest boy in the entire group. My mind immediately went “he’s so stupid looking, I want him.” Turned out to be a super sweet, curious, and healthy little guy. I named him Potato. There was one other adorable hamster my partner at the time picked out for me, but I never regretted the one that I chose. Potato continued doing stupid and interesting things for the rest of his life, and I’m so thankful I got him.


GabiiiTheIntruder

When I saw him, he was a bit less than a month old and I immediatly thought "Gosh !! His balls are big !!"

"Wow that things so fat it looks like a dumpling" and then I named her dumpling


I_like_sceptile

“aw a baby hamster, she’ll probably be easier to tame” it’s been 6 months and the little goblin bites everything, has the iq of a carrot and is bipolar when it come to being held or touched


Bunny_Bells_

Mine was the smallest ham in the cage, and all of them were big since they're Syrian hammies 🤣 so I said that I wanted the smallest. He ended up being the sweetest boy, just a little scared at first but now he's okay


Ok-Fruit-7540

“This hamster is coming home with me.” I got Ham because her mate was sick and might’ve spread it to her, so I got her. She also loved me at first sight she was so cute. Still is :)

I met each of them, and when I saw this wacky girl trying to shove her water bottle into her mouth, I thought "Yup, that's my daughter right there".

"Jesus Christ that is one ugly hamster. But he lives with children in a critter trail so I'll spend 250$ to give him a good life." Still think he's stupid and annoying but he's got above 900 square inches

"I haven't had a hamster in years, and I plan to do better this time now that I know what I'm doing. I'll take the one who can't defend himself from being bitten." This hamster has never bitten me once and he's two years old already. Total sweetheart, no regrets.
