Hamster of the Month - June 2011 - POLL NOW ADDED

[souffle]

It's a new month so we have to choose the 'Hamster of the Month' for next month. The winning hamster will appear on the front page of the forum so when someone comes on to the forum they will see the picture. :smile: It will also be made into a Calendar pic for June and posted for anyone to print out.
In entering the competition you give permission for you picture to be used in these ways.

So it could be YOUR hamster who becomes famous. :grin:

1. This competition is for the June Hamster of the month.

2. You may enter 1 picture and this should be accompanied by a few lines telling us a little about you hamster and why it should be chosen.

3. The picture should be clear and as charming as possible

4. The picture must be of a hamster of any species and it must belong to you or your family. It may be with you now or have passed to the bridge.

5. Closing date for entries is Sunday 22nd May.

6. The voting will be posted and the new pic will be displayed in June. It will also be made in a printable calendar.

7. Please try and post a new photograph that you have not entered in a previous competition.

8. It may be themed if you wish and June has summer, exams and not a lot else!

Please do not post any comments on this thread and only post entries. PM me with any queries. If you cannot post pics then e mail me the pic and I will post it on your behalf.
I have noticed that some of the pictures posted are very large. These pictures do not do your entry justice as people will not scroll across the page to view the whole image, it stretches the forum and also it can pixelate and make your picture less clear. Please resize your pictures so that they just fit across the forum. Around 600pixels width is a good size. Also you should ensure your picture is very clear and in focus as a blurry picture will not attract votes. Thanks.

Good luck everyone and can't wait to see your pics :smile:

Aiden is my little boy. :) He's almost half a year old. The reason why he should be HOTM is because he is very loving and is an aspiring male model ;). He also would like to woo the ladies on the forum home page with his signature meerkat pose.

[LocoRocoPanda]

I'm game, for once. XD Izuna-Wheatley would like to be hamster of the month because he's the fluffiest, sweetest and gorgeous thing I've never met and I can't wait to go see him when I get home. XD

This is Spirit my little Syrian boy having a nap inside my dressing gown after having a bit of a sunbathe with me. He is the perfect example of a ham that loves cuddles <3

[Nikorusama]

This Is Morella (Momo for short) and she should win because she was ever so good sitting still for a few minutes (very hard for robos) whilst I took a picture of her and especially good since I have only had her for a week.

This Is Jojo. She is my first hamster, and lives in her 20 gallon long aquarium. Jojo is a Syrian hamster with puzzle piece markings on her back. In October of 2010, I adopted her from my local rescue. She was the mother hamster of a litter of eight pups. There, she was housed with two of her daughters that had grown bigger than her. She is a very gentle and sweet girl. We would be honored if you chose us

[Ministottie]

Marley would like to try for HOTM again as he decided his last picture wasn't up to scratch. This is him checking to see if mummy was looking before eating the leftover crumbs from her cake. He is one cheeky little boy :p

[Breezy]

I'd like to enter Stormy for the next Hamster of the Month! ( If the image is too large, please let me know! )

http://i1127.photobucket.com/albums/l626/LittleBreezy/stormyhouse.jpg

Stormy would like to be the Hamster of the Month because he spent HOURS cleaning him self and excersizing on his wheel to look just right for his photo! ;)
Here we have him welcoming us into his little castle that he tidied up just for his picture. <3

[LoveMyHams]

Caramel would like to be Hammy of the month!
She and her sister Mocha are brand new to the forum and are looking for some hammy friends! Caramel loves the camera, especially sniffing the lens.

[rockster]

[PhillRC]

[CoolcatNatNat44]

This is Nibbles my first ever hamster. I think he should be June's hamster of the month because he is a cheeky greedy little boy :3 lol (apologies for the big picture)

Mama Bear (and her 6 childen who were 2 weeks old) was rescued from a rodent mill, along with 1500 other hamsters. In spite of her rough start, she's a sweet, loving hammy. She adores coming out of her cage, and just loves being allowed to run around our kitchen floor, sniffing in all the corners. I think she deserves to be hamster of the month, cos surviving that, and staying sweet deserves some kind of recognition!!

[gellerbing]

this is coco :D
she heard about hamster of the month again and this was her reaction, so i just had to enter her again

[Primble]

This is Marley, he would like a tad more privacy :mad:

[Rosey1980]

This is Rosey. It was her birthday and I let her outside on my balcony to explore and play in one of my large dirt filled flower pot. She started digging and then looked up. It was so cute I couldn't resist the taking her pic. She has dirt on her paws and looks shocked that she was found like that. She would like to be hamster of the month

[jodiecanwell90]

This is my Olive, she has recently become fond of Ready Brek. She's 8 months old and has a right little character of her own.

[Erin Loves Dwarf Hamsters]

Thistle would like to enter this month because she is her mummys best friend in the world and even though all my hammies love to watch their mummy making these little dolls house items Thistle loves watching the most and checking that they are all hamster proof! I love you my little angel :)

[Malorey]

I would like to nominate Buzz again, as he's of course, Buzz! So therefore perfect. ;) Lol. He's a very kind soul, and never has bitten or anything. You can do anything with him, and he'll just go with the flow! He's a great little guy! <3

[mangoandmimi]

Thought i'd join in again this month :)

This is my little baby Mango who had to be put down a few weeks ago :'( It would make him a very proud hammy up in the clouds if he was to be made HOTM :)
He was very tame, very cute, very funny, and very lazy :mad: i think he deserves to be hotm :)

[Kristin]

I would love to enter my Harley again. He is one special, lovely little guy who always puts a smile on my face. Here he is posing on top his food bowl ♥

[Hamtastic]

Lucy would like to try her paw at this calendar contest! She took a while getting ready, eating some sunflower seeds to calm down. But when I got my camera out, she had a shy spell and hid in her puzzle playground castle. This photo captures her personality quite well :mad:

Lucy think she should be a Hamster of the Month because she's a joy to look at and is a very sweet girl :) I'm also very proud of the progress she's made from a very scared nervous older shop hamster to a friendly inquisitive ham.

I had a super hard time voting, as always, but had to settle on Rosey, as her photo is simply adorable--and someone had to vote for her, although my hand hovered on Stormy for a while... and a few other hams :mad::rolleyes: :)

[souffle]

Congratulations to blossomgirl and the gorgeous Mama Bear who is this month's hamster of the month. The front page will be changed as soon as possible :)

It was so, so hard to choose this month. You do all like to make it tough :P. I voted for Buzz in the end, because he gives me squeee all the time! But so many handsome cute little chaps. I dread voting next month!

[wofunny]

Congrats! :D she is stunning.

Sammy, I have that problem every time. I think every ham deserves to be a HotM... like a big collage of them all :)
