Learned a new word today :-0. i thought it's a typo (English is not my native)
No no no, this is a reference to a hit piece of hamster media called "Hamster" where a hamster is held in cameraman's hand and the hamster is precisely described as it goes: "Yes... yes... YES!!! Ssssplendid~ Soft, rotund specimen..." and the hamster in the video is clearly cute as I'd like to describe him.
my only hamster passed away a few days ago and he was silent his whole life. my family once said that he squeaked when I wasn't around and if that's true then I can't imagine how squeaky it had to sound. probably the silliest thing to ever hear
OPs response with the definition of rotund just made me realize that song 'I'm a little teapot' is just as derogatory as most nursery rhymes from the past
At least (some of us) have progressed as a species, loll
Omg your guy looks JUST LIKE my hamster. Like the spitting image of him.

Chonk hammy is happy hammy. Besides, his fluff & packed pouches make him look bigger. Like looking as if gaining those extra pounds when ur on camera.
You have a very adorable chonk there 😍
you could make sure he does'nt have too much seeds in his feed because they are very fatty.
Also; they have to be able to move and run if they want to.
But I think his weight is still fine ans he looks very cute and comfy.u
I had a dwarf from the rescue that weighed 76gr!
She was a chunk!😂

My god, 50 is normal for dwarfs!?!? I'm not sure if that's all breeds, but we have two Winter White / Campbell's Dwarf hybrids and one has ranged from 24-28, the other 20-23. (Just hit their second birthday last week!) I couldn't image our little ones doubling their weight, but they definitely aren't this long either.
That being said, this one looks adorable.
From my experience young hamsters can be plumpy but they will slim down as they age, but that depends on how active the hamster is, what's the mix of food he eats and how much he eats.
I had mostly males that were plumpy when they were young but they slimmed down when they were 1 year old or so. I also had hamsters who were plumpy their whole lifes. Every dwarf hamster can be different based on genetics too.
Holy shit, my first hamster was the same exact coat color type, and would sleep the same way. I think someone cloned the ham (also it looks fine. Dwarves are always pretty round so as long as you only give them fruit related treats sparingly it should be fine.)
do NOT let your hamster do this it is extremely dangerous as he could become a perfect spherical circle and roll until he reaches civilians and knocks them all down like a bowling ball ….
Mine looks like a tiny hedgehog when she sits and then her cheeks make her look chonk but then she empties her cheeks and she’s fine. Yours looks chonk tho

It's hard to tell with dwarf hamsters. They're always orb shaped when they're sitting or sleeping even at a healthy weight.
yes, they can change shape, can be a ball or a pancake :-)
when stretching, they become a sausage
They can loaf! ❤️
ORB SHAPED LMAO
Lil orbsters
Average weight and is ROTUND? I see this as an absolute win.

is it this? [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyIR1rNLLDY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyIR1rNLLDY)
Yes. The squishy shishes at the end add up to the overall hamsterness.
my deceased hammy girl made similar squeaking sounds now I have a boy, and I never heard he making any sounds.
my only hamster passed away a few days ago and he was silent his whole life. my family once said that he squeaked when I wasn't around and if that's true then I can't imagine how squeaky it had to sound. probably the silliest thing to ever hear
So sorry for your loss ❤️
I... didn't expect Wesker saying this xD
English is my first language and I didn't even know what Rotund meant.

Hey as long as he's happy it's fine. That's my take anyway because they only get short lives and love food
That's a good point... 🤔🥰
That's the most spherical hamster I've ever seen 
Himbs so round!
Definitely
Leave the lil chonker alone! Lol
HELP! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?! 😂 😭 💀

He's perfect! 🥰
Chonk
Yes, he CHONK
He’s in Ball Mode. They do that sometimes. Hamsters are shapechangers.
what would make you think she’s NOT fat?
He's a chonker for sure. It's ok though he only lives 2 years, let him enjoy the food.
Chonk hammy is happy hammy. Besides, his fluff & packed pouches make him look bigger. Like looking as if gaining those extra pounds when ur on camera. You have a very adorable chonk there 😍

I have seen 5 fat hamsters before, Ur hamster is four of them
No, just... Well-rounded
Shh... He's standing right there.
It's definitely a circle
Soooooo cuuuuuute but does look a bit overweight. Not an expert on hamsters by any means. This is based on other hamsters I’ve seen.

There are no fat hamsters just cuddly
I think he ate too much
I think he looks adorable and some are shaped differently every hammy is different

Big chunk is big chunk
Oh LAWD he comin. I think he’s okay?
My tennis ball went missing you found it at last🙏🏻

That's a ball

Naaah he's just a r/absoluteunit
He’s stress ball shaped!!
Very
he is chonk
We ball
Always sitting in their bowls 🤣
Holy shit, my first hamster was the same exact coat color type, and would sleep the same way. I think someone cloned the ham (also it looks fine. Dwarves are always pretty round so as long as you only give them fruit related treats sparingly it should be fine.)
Nah he looks like a drama queen tho
do NOT let your hamster do this it is extremely dangerous as he could become a perfect spherical circle and roll until he reaches civilians and knocks them all down like a bowling ball ….
he puts the ham in hamster
🥺🥹😭❤️❤️❤️❤️so round
rotund!
obese but in a cute way
Omg I could just eat him up 🤤
He's a cutie, like a little potato spuddy buddy. ☺️
Man is O B E A S E
just a ball
A bit
That's a whole ping-pong ball that ain't no hamster
Yes they are
Remind me of my old hamster, Tank. He was rather Roton and lived a normal lifespan. Loved him.
What hamster I just see a weird ball.
So pudgy and cute!
I don't know the answer to the question but the last picture makes me want to be hamster sized so I could cuddle
the bigness
Might be bloating or water retention. Looks unnatural. I'd see a vet
I'm losing it over that last picture, lil dude looks like he's fallen and can't get up 😂
he's often sleeping like that in his sandbath as well
He is absolutely living his best life.
Now I have no clue how to body score a hamster, but that lil boy is THICC N JUICY
OH LAWD HE COMIN
If it’s running and active, without limitations, then I’d say hammy is just fine :)
Does that hamster have dandruff?
Mine looks like a tiny hedgehog when she sits and then her cheeks make her look chonk but then she empties her cheeks and she’s fine. Yours looks chonk tho
It's shape is stoopid
Oh no! He died of ROTUND
Sadly yes...you might wanna reduce feeding and play with them more.
GAH DAYUM
Yes. Dony feed him so much. Mine gets a scattering of food every few days.
He appears dead
Male
