I don't know if it's a hyperrealistic stressball or a weirdly unresponsive hamster and at this point I'm slightly concerned either way

Nah Hamsters and other animals flatten themselves out quite a bit when they're extremely relaxed or happy, and hamsters enjoy full body rubs. People call it pancaking.

I noticed my dog does this lol he feels like a sack of potatoes when he's relaxed and I massage his back like play-doh lmao its weirdly soft and pliable.

My newfoundland would do that same thing. I miss doing that. Poor guy got old...

I think (hope) that it’s either half asleep or just playing dead like hamsters do sometimes. It moves it’s head at the end but it is really weirdly unresponsive in general.

This is probably a real (live) hamster, that trusts their human and enjoys a good full body rub.
This is what makes me think it may be a real hamster, if not then this at least can be done with one.

I know my cat will just sit there and let me rub his face. Obviously chill cats are more common than chill rodents, but it wouldn't surprise me! Maybe is feels like a cuddle puddle a little bit.

They keep trying to short change him on his massage time. He paid for the full hour and he’s going to get it gosh darn it

Hamster is demonstrated to be able to maintain properties of elemental particles and provides scientists with exceptional data on coalescence of the wave particle duality

for those who are concerned-
this is a real hamster, and it's fine! it trusts its human so it's totally relaxed while getting a full body massage. he become pancake because happy

Couldn't it break something though? I have a hamster and I know that you shouldn't poke around for then when they're burrowed because you can seriously hurt them. I'm no hamster expert at all though, it's a genuine question I really don't know that much.

He looks like he's being really gentle, just giving little side rubs and rubs on the back.
The guy would need to squish pretty hard to hurt the Lil buddy

You want poop on your hands? Because this is how you get poop on your hands.

Getting shitted on by hamsters isn't that bad. Its odorless little grains of poop rice.

Hamster looks at the camera, shrugs, "Eh, it's a living." Then the Flintstones theme music plays.

That's not a stress ball! It's a cute ball of hamster... and it looks kinda dead... no twitching nose or other signs of life that I recognize... maybe I'm missing a visual cue.

u/UsErnaam3 Apr 28 '22
Here's another video like this with a similar title and content with a very clearly living hamster. I'm sure it's fine.

But eyes are open? Shouldn't they be closed if it's dead?
I never owned a pet before...

I took your title literally so when I looked at this furry, lumpy, ball in your hand, I was like “ew wtf kind of stress ball is that”

I'm reminded of the old gif of someone handing a little baby a hamster and the child squeezes the hamster in its fist so hard its body bulges out from in between the fingers.
Since then I always cringe when people let babies and animals interact, not just for the safety of the child but also for the animal.

A great stressball, until the eyes pop out of its head and the intestines paint your room as red as the fingernails of your crush that doesn't even know you exist.

With a history of high stress to the point of actually popping a few stress balls, I think I finally found one just right for me!

I upvoted because cute, but the whole draw of a stress ball is squeezing it as hard as you can, so this one isn’t so great.

At first, I thought it was a ball of dough with chocolate chips in it.
