This hamster having a good clearout of its cheeks is both astonishing and incredibly cute
We all know about hamsters storing food in their cheeks. It’s a very efficient system – keeping the good stuff really handy when it’s needed.
But we hadn’t realised quite how much could fit in there. Have a look at this clip, shared by Science girl on Twitter/X.

There’s so much stuff in there, it looks like Stacey Solomon might need to go round and have a word.
People appreciated the cuteness.

Okay, I knew this, but I still wasn’t expecting the sheer quantity involved. https://t.co/P8rLcrmSx6

If only pockets in women’s pants could hold this much. https://t.co/5wQMlWMLt7

Mmm, those cheeky little pouches must come in handy when they're on the go, just like a girl with her secrets…

Here’s the same process in the other direction.
It's incredible how much they can fit in these pouches.

Finally, a cautionary word on the care of hamsters.
Hamster pouches are amazing but please don't handle the little guys like this or give them weeks worth of nuts at once. https://t.co/0tyW5ZoOQZ
