We take a look back at some of the cute hamsters who stole our hearts this year in this adorable photo collection.
We all know cats are cute but this year the humble hamster has been giving them all a run for their money! Let’s take a look at what we’ve learned from some of the most memorable photos below.

▼ The little critters look cute when they’re snoozing but when it involves a tiny little futon it’s just. Too. Much.
Hamster bottoms were big in 2014 and they proved popular again in 2015. With derrières as cute as these, we don’t think their popularity will wane anytime soon!

Who knew hamsters liked to travel? A passenger on the shinkansen bullet train spotted this backpacking hamster with some rather large luggage.

Inquisitive hamsters like to make holes, like this one who chewed its way into its owner’s beloved capybara.
Some don’t mind being mistaken for other furry four-legged creatures. This one’s being used as a mouse.
▼ Surprisingly, hamsters have a thing for glass jars. Take it from this little guy who fell asleep inside one.

Ginji’s unique setup provided us with lots of awwws, so it was a very sad day when we heard the news that he passed away. Rest in peace little one.
