A Little Hamster Beside its Food Bowl

Hamsters are active small rodents that spend much of their evening hours gathering and eating food. In this illustration, a hamster pauses beside its feeding dish, representing a typical moment in a pet hamster's daily routine.

Interesting Facts About Hamsters and Feeding

Hamsters possess special cheek pouches that extend all the way back to their shoulders. In the wild, they use these stretchy pouches to carry seeds, grains, and nuts back to their burrows to store for later consumption. A single hamster can transport an amount of food in its cheeks that weighs almost as much as its own body. Because hamsters are nocturnal creatures, they usually wake up to eat and explore when the sun goes down.
