Saturday afternoon we entered Chubby Cheese into a local hamster race. Let me tell you, there were some crazy BIG hamsters there. I’m quite sure they were small rats but I left the qualifications up to the judges.
Anywho, it was super cute how they ran the races. They had 4 tracks set up and matched hamsters up in groups. From those groups there were more races… if you’ve ever seen a tournament bracket you know what I’m talking about.
Ainsley didn’t want to go up alone so Ryan offered to go and Natalie joined in too.
Chubby completely choked on the first race wasting all of Ryan’s efforts of cheering for him.
He actually won his second race where he seemed to chase Natalie down the track as she led the way calling for him to come.
We tried that for his third and fourth race, but he just sat in his ball looking around. I think it was all a bit overstimulating for him. All in all though, it was more fun than I thought it was going to be. The kids really liked it so we’ll probably try it out again next year should Chubby make it that long.

I have never heard of such a thing! 🙂 But I will say it again…you guys sure think up fun things for your family to do together! Good thing they keep them inside the balls…or there would be rodents running all over the place! “Chubby Cheese” is a good name!
Love, Linda
oh my goodness, that is the best thing I’ve heard of. I love it! Yay for chubby! So cute! So glad they were in the balls too haha I didn’t know what to expect when you said it was a hamster race.
When Adam was young, his parents entered him in a baby crawling contest at the fair and he crushed souls… even as a baby haha there are videos
