A Hamster in your coffee cup can mean a simpler time in your life where you can connect to your inner child. A hamster can also be a reminder of your childhood and how much simpler life was then. A hamster is a symbol of a child’s first pet and all the simple joys this little animal can give to a child. The hamster thus symbolises happiness, simpler times, simple joys, having fun, new opportunities, and enjoying life. The hamster also reminds us to make the most out of each situation in our lives.
