Heavy Night? Hamster Snoozes Beside Miniature Beer Can

Storyful

This hamster looked more like a student on spring break than a cuddly pet as it snuggled up beside a miniature beer can as it snoozed.

Videos of this dozy little hamster, alongside other pampered pet rodents, are regularly shared by their owner, Jaieden Ace Shen, who is based in Sembawang, Singapore.

Shen posts the results to his Hamstars YouTube channel, which boasts more than 160,000 subscribers.
