What do a nine year-old boy (almost ten!) and a 4 year-old little girl have in common?
Some majorly fierce love for the family hamster, that’s what.
Y’all, this is seriously THE most loved-on hamster on the planet, I mean it.
She has the opportunity to hang out in the horse barn…
…and she gets to chill with Sophia in her awesome castle.
Plus, she gets cuddled and petted and fed walnuts and hamster treats ALL. THE. TIME.
But she is a really good little “varmint” as I like to say. 
(but seriously, she’s really soft and if she would not get squashed I would probably let her sleep with me because she really is so sweet)
We scored in the hamster department, that is for sure!
If you want to read more about the comings and goings of Cupcake you can checkout “her” blog at My Hamster Life (in which her owner Ben, chronicles the happenings of her life…)
Do you have a family pet that you adore this much?
That’s the cutest hamster I’ve ever seen no wonder your kids love her

Oh my gosh, they do so much! I’m even taking her to the boys’ school for “show and tell” today!
Ah, she is awfully cute! We don’t have any pets. Pets are certainly in our future, though.

I might have mentioned once or twice before that we have a dog
– and we’re just as crazy about him as you are about your cute little hamster. Family pets FTW!

I truly believe in “pet therapy”. Now to convince my hubby that a small dog is okay too…
Oh my gosh! That really is the cutest hamster I’ve ever seen! I grew up with hamsters and I think my kids would love one! It would probably the most loved hamster on the planet next to yours!
Probably so! This one is definitely a winner! You should get one. They are easy…
Aw, she is so cute!!

OK we did the hamster thing many moons ago and my boys were too rough.. So then we got into domesticated mice.. Those took off, literally. Like we became the main breeders for the local pet stores.. We got out of that when they were breeding faster than we could keep up with. But if we had a hamster like that yeah spoiled would be a word lol

When we got our first hamster the pet shop sales person tried to convince me to get a rat (or a mouse). I just couldn’t do it. It’s the long tails. I like that hamsters have no tails.
She is sweet! She certainly does look loved! And I love that she has her own blog!

Yep, she has brains and beauty!
I don’t usually like varmints but this really is a cute hamster. Darn cute.

Aw – so freaking cute. I am allergic to everything. I wonder if I am allergic to hamsters? Feeling some furry animal envy over here…

Oh shoot, you should try to find out… Since they don’t shed, maybe not? She is SOOOO soft, I feel better every time I pet her.
I generally don’t think hamsters are cute, but little Cupcake is pretty adorable. I love the way your kids love her.

Oh yes, me too. They certainly think she is the “bees knees”! ha!
Awww so glad she is a great pet for the kiddos!

what a cute little hamster. i really can’t believe my kids haven’t asked for one by now…but that’s okay with me. I have mixed feelings about rodents
I DO NOT like rodents with tails. So hamsters are okay. This is the ONLY kind of rodent allowed in our home.
I love the barn picture!! What a little sweetheart. We had guinea pigs growing up and loved them so much.

I’ve thought about getting a guinea pig too but then, bigger cage, etc. I think a hamster is good for now.
