My lass has got two hamsters. They have huge protrusions after their back legs/hips. Not prolapsed I don’t think as it’s still furry, but their butts basically stick out loads and look huge compared to the rest of them. Is this normal? I don’t know if they are boys or girls I’m afraid.

No idea, but possibly the best thread title yet!

you sure it’s not their ballbags? Give em a squoze

Gerbil scrotums……nah,your IS better.

Have they sellotape wrapped tightly around their abdomens? Might be squashing all the internal pipes and that.

Only on STW…. 😯

Photos required

we had guinea pigs when I was a kid with what looked like prolapses, they all died early of genetic conditions resulting from them being products of interbreeding…

Sounds like testicles to me. Hamsters are pretty well endowed when it comes to ball bags

When I read the thread title I was like “WTF!?” 😆

brilliant! i was looking for a band name

Rectum?

Almost killed him.

What type of hamster? If they are Chinese Dwarfs, the testicles are unbelieveably disproportionate. TBH, all the hamsters that live together are dwarf hamsters, Chinese are hourglass shaped, grey and with a tail about 15-20mm long. As previously mentioned the balls a bigger than the head. Look at it this way, if they are both the same, the odds are that they are normal. I totally understand your surprise, I felt the same when I started my job and first saw them!

GfS

Wifey had a very cute syrian, they have huge balls however. Usefull tool to sex them so you don’t end up with millions!!!

edit: isn’t the internet great!!

Poddy will be along shortly

They are some sort of dwarf one. Photos just going onto flickr, will update shortly. They aren’t good ones I’m afraid.

For a moment there, I opened this thread and read that the OP was “the great tape” and wondered where the hell we were going now…

I know there’s still a long way to go but… thread title of the month?

You should be ashamed of yourself. And you a moderator too! 😐

Can you actually ban yourself if you’re a mod?

That looks like a gerbil to me…. Are you sure it’s a big-assed hamster?

GfS – that’s reassuring.

Drac – 🙂

UR – as far as I know they are.

Deluded – no sellotape today. No felt tip on them either this week.

Those are bollocks.

Actually, thinking back to my Russian Dwarves, they prolly are hamsters. They don’t look right, but honestly? Wait a year, they’ll die and she can get some normal-assed hamsters.

Hamster with a DS looks well pleased with himself!

He’d been saving all year.

Those are bollocks.

Thankyou.

New found respect to cucumber and broccoli or whatever TF they’re called.

STW to the rescue again.
