30 Adorable Pictures of Hamster Backs to Brighten Your Day

People who have kept hamsters as a pet will know that they are extremely cute and adorable most of the time.

But the best part of hamsters is their insanely adorable butts which is probably their cutest parts!

Everyone loves hamster butts but Japan is especially in love with these adorable butts. Hamster butts are a big deal in Japan and people love to share cute fluffy bums on social media.

This phenomenon is known as hamuketsu in Japan, a mix of the words ‘hamster’ and ‘ketsu’ (which means butt). Hamuketsu went viral on Japanese social media back in 2013, and it was the latest incarnation of liking things that are kawaii, aka cute.

Japan loved hamsters so much that even publishers went wild with it. A publisher called Basilico released two books about hamster bums back in 2014.

“The great thing about hamuketsu is that it is delightfully cute. I can’t stop smiling when I see these butts,” Takeshi Takahashi, a spokesman for Basilico, shared his thoughts with the Wall Street Journal.

Below is a collection of some of the most adorable examples of hamster bums you will ever see and it will help you brighten up your gloomy day and to bring a little smile to your face.

So prepare to squeal after seeing these adorable little creatures.
