Do Hamsters Really Eat Their Own Poop?! 💩😱
March 24,2025

OMG, stop that, little one! That’s your poop!!! 😰
But… your hamster just keeps munching like it’s a gourmet meal… 🤫
🐹 Why Do Hamsters Eat Their Own Poop?
💬 Hamster: "Relax, it’s full of nutrients!"
This behavior is called coprophagy,
and it’s completely normal for hamsters! 😮
🐹 Poop is… Nutritious?! 🤯
🐾 Hamsters eat a high-fiber diet with grains and seeds 🌾
🐾 Some nutrients aren't fully digested the first time 😲
🐾 So… by eating their poop, they can absorb all the nutrients!✨
It’s like… food version 2.0?! 😵💫
🐹 No More Kisses! 🤣
💬 Me: "Okay, no more hamster kisses for me… 🤮"
While we humans think this is totally gross,
for hamsters, it’s just a smart survival trick! 🧠✨
So next time you catch your hamster snacking on its own poop,
don’t freak out—it’s just part of being a hamster! 🐭💕
