Videos of tiny food tutorials, often featuring tiny animals, are taking over YouTube. Here we've handpicked five of our favourites for your Thursday afternoon.

1: Tiny hamster eats tiny burritos

The video that sparked our love for all things tiny, a wee hamster can be seen nibbling on tiny burritos at a tiny table.

2: Mini fried shrimp tutorial

Using a mini oven powered by a tea light candle, a chef deep fries tiny shrimp in a tempura batter and panko crumbs.

3: Tiny hamburger

In this cooking tutorial a tiny hamburger is cooked from scratch. The chef makes dough for the buns, cooks a patty then assembles the burger on an equally small plate.

4: Tiny hamster in a tiny mansion

'Chicken the Hamster' eats food in almost all the rooms of his little mansion. Watch him wake up to eat breakfast and later nibble on a strawberry before he jumps in his - you guessed it - tiny car and drives out of his garage. Too cute!

5: Tiny birthday for a tiny hedgehog

A tiny hedgehog is joined by his tiny hamster mates to celebrate his birthday featuring wee party hats, presents and a tiny cake.
