TV fans are obsessed with a wacky compeтιтion show that pits human contestants against an unlikely little opponent, dubbing it ‘without a doubt the best telly out there’.
Human Vs Hamster sees the popular family pets duelling with grown adults in a battle of speed, endurance and skill as they each tackle their own scale version of the same ᴀssault course.
They take on a mulтιтude of challenges, including bowling with hamster balls, running the wheel, wading through ball pits, crawling through bottles and climbing.
Rodentia enthusiast and host Brian Balthazar said the show is great fun for the family, insisting viewers will be amazed by ‘how close’ the races are and ‘how frequently the hamsters beat the humans.’
He explained that the furry friends are ‘really agile’ and ‘can jump higher than most humans’, relative to their size.

‘You will find yourselves rooting for the hamsters. They are hilarious and great, and super good at it,’ he told NewsNation.
Fan favourite hamsters include Kevin, Ham, The Professor and the fabulously chunky Warrior.
In preparation for the compeтιтion, the hamsters endure six weeks of intense training on the course and are kept on track with little treats along the way.
In response to animal welfare concerns, Brian argued that the tasks are ‘all things that hamsters love to do’ and it might actually be ‘more of a challenge for some of the humans’.
People who tune in seem to become instant fans, taking to social media to rave about the show.
