How Much Can a Hamster Fit in Its Mouth?!

Ever wondered why hamsters are nicknamed "Doraemon" of the rodent world? 🐹🎒
That’s because their cheek pouches are truly incredible!

👉 They can store up to 20% of their body weight inside! 😱
👉 The pouches can stretch as far as half their body length! 😲

So if your hamster looks extra chubby, it might just be a "storage issue" and not weight gain! 🤣

🐹 Two Amazing Functions of Hamster Cheek Pouches!

🔸 Function ①: Storing Food 🍖
In the wild, hamsters are prey animals and must hide food quickly to survive.
That’s why they stuff their cheeks and bring food back to their nest before eating.

🚨 Warning! Your hamster might think you’re stealing its food!
🐹: "Are… are you going to eat me?! 😱" (trembles)

🔸 Function ②: Transporting Materials 💪
Hamsters don’t just store food in their cheek pouches,
they also carry nesting materials home using them! 🛖

⚠️ Important Tip! Choose Safe Bedding!
Avoid using newspaper or tissue paper,
as these materials can be harmful to their cheek pouches! 🚫
