We had a short contest at the HH Forum in December for the Cutest Hamster Christmas Signature. The criteria is that the signature made must contain hamster(s) and have a Christmas/Seasonal theme.
The judges are the 4 designers from HH design team (maremoto, cloudpuff, hana-kitty and starry night) and kisetsu’s signature was chosen as the winner by majority vote.

Congratulations, kisetsu (human) and Hermie (hamster)!
Update: kisetsu made a detailed step-by-step guide on her blog on how she made the signature. Check it out!

Hamster Hideout is pleased to present the winner of November 09’s ‘Hamster of the Month’ award!

Entries: 9
Votes: 6 out of 25 (1 vote per member)
Winner: KISS’s Muah Ji

HH: Hi Muah Ji, congratulations for winning Hamster of the Month! How are you feeling now?
MJ: WEEEE~! I’m really lucky and overjoyed~ I must say the other contestants are good too. It’s my honour to win! Feels like I am eating the tastiest treat ever, the happiest thing ever. So I think the other room mates are jealous! I bet they are going to ask my owner to enter them into the contest too. So, for my winning reward from my owner would be TREATS and more treats. -Please-

HH: That photo of you eating while lying on your back is so cute! Do you get a lot of treats from your owner?
MJ: I used to have lots of treats, but not anymore. Well, I am not supposed to have too much treats because my owner says I’m fat. She said that I should cut down on my diet, otherwise, I will be like a huge meat ball. But, I can’t resist the treats! I don’t think any hamster can, right? Of course, my owner can’t resist my cuteness as well. If she refuse to give me, I will bug her for it! That’s when she can’t bear not to give me. -Hehe- But, she tries to limit my amount of treats.

(Muah Ji with Souffle)
HH: Are there other pet animals in your neighbourhood whom you are friends with?
MJ: Sadly, no. However, I sensed some one was here before. It’s a normal winter white dwarf hamster, rescued by my owner at the lift lobby outside my owner’s house. It belongs to the neighbour opposite. I didn’t get to get near the little fellow because she didn’t know if that little fellow has got any illness or anything that’s contagious. Thus, she didn’t allow me and my room mates see or get near the little fellow. My owner even had a quarrel with her mother because it belong to the neighbour that owner’s mother dislike. Saying that my owner is being nosy and that the neighbour will not appreciate her for doing such thing. But in that situation, my owner has got no choice. We are staying on the 24th storey and it was very windy at 1am. That little fellow nearly fell off from the edge!!! That made my owner even want to rescued it more. She lured it into the container with tiny holes on the lid, gave food and a piece of vegetable in case it get thirsty. Yes, with tissue papers as bedding to keep warm. That little fellow quickly munch on the food like it was really hungry. But, owner’s mother was very unhappy about it and placed that little fellow with the container outside the house an hour later… And we never know if it is safely back to the owner or taken away by other human. -Sigh-

HH: Describe your likes and dislikes.
MJ: Alright, let’s come back to the happier topic. I definitely love my owner to play with me! Her room is my playpen, my playground! Only I can. Because I am trained to go to my owner when she calls me, and I don’t pee in her room. But i do poo and munch my food in her room, at a corner. -Oops- I love to munch and I munch on anything, yes, anything and everything! I definitely like my ability to act cute. No, i should say I’m born cute! -Grinds- Another thing that I like is, clean wheel! But it gets dirty because I pee in the wheel. -Oops- Once it gets dirty I won’t run the wheel. That’s why I am being praised smart by my owner. -Hehe- I dislike being left alone when I want to come out and play. But when I am asleep, I dislike being disturb! I would bite my owner’s finger softly if she disturb me. In order not to be disturbed by my owner when I want to be alone, this is the place I would go… The toilet roll! Hmmm, looks more like a kitchen towel roll.

HH: Anything else you would like to say to our readers?
MJ: I sincerely thank humans and hammies for voting for me, from the bottom of my heart. -Smiles- Time for my reward~

Hamster Hideout is pleased to present the winner of October 09’s ‘Hamster of the Month’ award!

Entries: 9
Votes:
Round One (Tie): 13 out of 37 (1 vote per member),
Round Two (Winner): Voted by internal panel of judges
Winner: Razzy’s Mitzi
HH: Hi Mitzi, congratulations for winning Hamster of the Month! How are you feeling now?
MZ: Hi, I’m sleepy, but still happy that I won my first contest ever. I love getting my photo taken and it makes me look beautiful when my owner shows my good side.

HH: Your ears are real cute, how did you get them?
MZ: My owner says that they were made just for me (something about paper, marker, tape, and a twist tie) but I think it could be because I eat too many carrots. Or would that make me orange? I dunno. Maybe it’s because I’ve been such a good little hamster that I’ve been gifted with these from the Boss Ham Ham.
HH: What’s your home like? Do you have lots of toys?
MZ: . In my home we have lots of boys around. 4 to be exact. They are the most annoying human boys I have ever known, and to defend my cage I bite them and box with them. And of course in a boxing match I always win because I’m super strong (Don’t be fooled by my size; looks can be deceiving). My humans have cut up a cardboard tube to entertain me, but I don’t have any hips so it’s had to play with.

HH: Describe your likes and dislikes.
MZ: My favourite games are boxing and staring matches. I always win in both games. I always love sleeping time, and my wheel is the best. My feet sometimes slip in-between the rungs but I ignore that. The human I hate the most is a boy and he always wakes me up and takes pictures of me (which I like, but I don’t want anybody to see my bad side).
HH: Anything else you would like to say to our readers?
MZ: I love everyone who voted for me even though I’m turning gray and old. My owner always complains about how young women get all the attention but I prove that wrong. Dove for the win! (hopefully you got my joke, I got it off the weird glowing box that wakes me up a lot)
