I guess it's the cynic is me, but I am almost certain that image is Photoshopped. (For instance, how is the critter holding on to that flower with a fully open hand?)
Photoshop, photoshop, photoshop... Occam's Razor would suggest that three hamsters and a tube of crazy glue would be the easier (and cheaper) approach.
I see that I have become cynical in my old age (although I guess I did have a head start in my teens). Once I would have looked at the picture and said, "Awwww!" (Probably when I was ten.) Today I see the picture and say, "Hmm. How did they do that?" And I'm not talking about the rodents.
Cute - even though everything is faked (background and foreground taken from different images, rodent not really stuck in anything much less tar, rodents not holding anything, etc.)
The most obvious sign of it being an edited image is the fact that the little stalk the two are dangling from would bow all the way to the ground under their weight. No way that little itty bitty stalk is holding up two hamsters.
And she (he?) is grateful for the food being "offered."
So cute, even if it's due to a complete anthropomorphism.

If this photo is real it is absolutely amazing. Can you tell us more about the source?
....or I could just click on the pic and go straight to the site...nvm
I'm with Glen Davidson. I'm totally anthropomorphising, but that's totally cute.
Still learning,

The flower at least is almost certainly photoshopped. The front paw is splayed out, and I'm pretty sure hamsters don't have opposable thumbs.
Cute as hell anyway.

And the same for the upper one holding the ankle of the middle one.
Maybe a lucky shot as the middle one and the flower were falling and not being dangled.

@8 -- That would almost certainly take some of the cuteness away.

:-}
But, yes, obviously photoshopped (not arranged with glue).

I wonder how many of the animals at that site are gay?
And why would three hamsters be hanging out in the wild? Oh, wait, I was supposed to suspend my disbelief, wasn't I...There, done. OH, how cute!
