How to Play Brush the Hamster

Brush the Hamster is a cute, relaxing browser game where you gently groom a sleeping hamster. Move your mouse or finger across the hamster to brush its soft fur. But be careful — the hamster is a light sleeper! When it starts stirring, stop immediately or it will wake up and scurry away.

Tips for Getting High Scores

Watch the breathing — the hamster's body rises and falls. When breathing speeds up, it's about to wake
Brush slowly and gently — fast movements are more likely to wake the hamster
Focus on the back — hamsters are less sensitive there
Stop immediately when you see the nose twitch
The longer you play, the lighter it sleeps — be more careful as your score grows

Fun Hamster Facts

Hamsters are naturally clean animals that groom themselves regularly. In the wild, hamsters can run up to 5 miles per night on their exercise wheels. Their cheek pouches can expand to triple the size of their head! Syrian hamsters — the most popular pet variety — are solitary creatures that prefer to live alone. When they're truly relaxed and trust their owner, they'll let you pet and brush them while they sleep, which is the cutest thing ever.
