BP, PLEEEEEASE don't let this be Artie's final HOM photo shoot! It was such a lovely and adorable picture of him helping with the dishes. He is such a cutiepie and takes such great pics. I laughed so hard that I was crying when I saw all of behind the scene pics and read all of your captions. What fun you three must have had taking these! I think they are great!!!!

Thank you dreamtree, Lizzy, SKB, ff, AP, Coco, cypher and Hamsterita I'm glad you enjoyed Artie's out-takes. It's fun when you look back at the photos you've got. This months competition is hard, or it is for me anyway as I'm terrible at taking pics and I don't have a proper camera. All I've got so far are blurry dark pics of Boris and Pasha grooming lol. Normally they just sit there grooming in front of you without a care in the world, but this month (funnily enough lol) they've gone all shy and are grooming in dark corners where I can't see them properly!

I know you think Artie is cute so I'll be interested if you still think so after this post

Artie the stink bug
Artie is a little stink bug, that is the nicest way I can put it. When he gets up at night time the first thing he does is go straight to his wheel. All the other boys have a groom, take a bath, have something to eat and maybe a drink of water but not Artie. He reminds me of a 4-legged version of Pig Pen from Charlie Brown and Snoopy, an air of whiff and all sorts trailing behind him. His wheel is where most of the action happens for Artie, he sleeps in it (at night time, not during the day), shells seeds, eats and poops in it and that’s all before he takes his whimzee toothbrush for a spin at 3.30am. He is also a wheel pee-er, something I don’t see him growing out of any time soon. He runs in his wheel with a trail of debris chasing him (I’m surprised he hasn’t knocked himself out). More than once I’ve seen him running with a poop on his head or shoulder or back and seed shells stuck to him. I just stand there going “Artie!!!” while I shake my head in disbelief. The rest would be horrified if they could see him, especially Pasha.

Anyway I think I’ve rambled on for long enough so here is a night in the life of Artie with pictures and videos and be grateful for the fact we don’t have smell-y-vision!

Anyone tried the latest in hamster-shave? Eau de Artie au natural.


Did my hair. How many partings can you get in your hair? Not as many as me I bet!


Hellooooo ladies!

ROFL! Oh Artie I love you more than ever
That is so funny BP, I honestly can't stop laughing
His wheel really is a match for a chinesey's & that's saying something!
Love the hair too, such style the ladies must love him

Tin's just like that when he gets up, straight in the wheel, he does groom though, in the wheel of course, & does everything else in there too except pee, the only one who doesn't. There's not a night I don't go to bed telling him to get those seeds out of his wheel or he'll be keeping the whole neighbourhood awake
I've often wondered how they don't knock themselves out too lol! Has anyone tried running with a whole walnut? That's fun!


I haven't seen anyone grooming in the open lately either, craft critters aren't they lol!

I'm rolling with cypher. I was wondering, are you a comedian or a novelist? If not I think that you could write a book of jokes or something and earn some extra money. Seriously!

I've imagined myself kissing that marshmallow fluff a lot of times, but now you have destroyed all those beautiful thoughts I'm very picky with odors.

But I can understand why he wants to run with all that drebris, that way he never is alone! he has a hoard of seed followers! It's the dream of all hamsters. And there's even more, that way if he gets hungry doing all that exercise, he doesn't have to go far to grab a snack. All vantages!

Thank god you don't have the hamsters in the same room where you sleep!!

Oh Artie, you made me cry with laughter. He's just so blooming adorable in his wheel, it's like he's urging the seeds to overtake him and then decides he wants to eat a few.
I would kiss Artie the stink bug lol!

Those videos were so funny to watch - the way the seeds are racing up beside him and then Artie decides to stop and have a snack! I don't understand why hamsters like to run in their wheel with their treats/food - it must be uncomfortable for them to keep being hit with flying food!
Artie looks like he approves of his masterpiece he created in his wheel! He looks so cute with his multiple hair partings.
I'm pleased none of my hamsters have peed on their wheel!

Oh Artie. It's hilarious watching all that "rubble" (for want of a better term) following him around as he runs. Must make quite a racket! So he is smelly noisy but very very cute little hamster - which really must be his redeeming feature?

Awww Cypher Tin sounds just like Artie with the seeds lol. So much noise, it sounds like the sea or maracas lol. I always wonder what the rest of the boys think when he gets up and starts the maracas, probably something like "*groan* here he goes again *cry*". Thankfully I've not had the walnut in the wheel, that would wake up the whole street lol

I'm not very good with odours either Hamsterita, he's not that bad really well not all the time anyway lol. He's always perfect looking in the morning

Artie is delighted you would still kiss him Lizzy, he's not sure if he will turn in to a handsome prince or a frog though as he says he doesn't remember how the story goes

I don't know why he does that either SKB, I think he feels that he has a fan club with them running behind him lol. The wheel pee'ing isn't too bad, it's easy to clean at least

Hahaha AP, when you put it like that it doesn't sound like he has much going for his, but he is a very cute little hamster and he can look very handsome. It all adds to his charm, or maybe that should be character

He has excelled himself the last couple of nights. Wake up, go to wheel. Then I put some seeds on my hand and he walks on to take them but he's obviously just pee'd and I end up with a wet hand, he then hops off and goes to his bath to freshen up! I don't understand him lol, he has to walk past his sand bath to get to his wheel, wish he would just go there first lol. Ham-Dad just stands there going "so gross Artie" xD

BP, Artie sure is a humorous character! I just died laughing at your descriptions, captions, pic, and videos. Artie why, oh WHY, did you have Peanut's Pigpen as your perfect role-model - I suppose you are trying to set a new standard in hammy fashion aren't you? Don't worry, we are all still your very devoted and loving fans. You never disappoint in making me laugh so hysterically with all of your silly and unforgettable antics! LOL! The wet pee paws on your loving mum might be slightly over the top though, don't you think Artie?
