A tiny hamster broke his arm and got a cast put on it, now the internet absolutely adores him

We dare you to look at this picture and NOT squeal...

When it comes to animals, it's hard to not feel maternal towards them. They're helpless little creatures who have no means of speaking or communicating directly with us, so we must do our best to try and guess what they're thinking. We've seen many stories involving adorable dogs, cats and other pooches and we can never get enough.
