If this video teaches you nothing else, know this: it’s easier to take candy from a baby than anything from a hamster.

He may have teeny tiny hands, but this rodent has some grip on him! His human friend might be bigger and stronger, but his determination is no match for this hungry hamsters!

He enthusiastically sucks on the end of this pencil, which is so much bigger than he is. But no matter. Where there’s a will there’s a way, and apparently this wood tastes good!

This is a classic case of cheering for the underdog, or perhaps the underhamster! He looks to be enjoying the pencil so much, I’d hate to see him lose it!
