Another oneI used to have a hamster, it loved sunflower seeds.
Now hamsters store stuff in their cheeks normally, eating them later.
I feed it a seed, it sticks it in its cheeks.
I fed it another, same story.
I then continued, under the understanding at some point the number of seeds it can feed into it's cheeks is finite (unless a hamster is designed like the tardis)
After 20 highly entertaining minutes and a half pack of sun flower seeds the hamster was having difficulty keeping itself upright and moving its head round to take the seeds.
I offered it one more seed and it gave me a baleful look and started to drag its cheeks back towards one corner of the cage.
Whereupon it made a funny little noise and chundered half a pack of seeds into a gooey pile. I swear it actually gave me a flabby cheeked smile as it came back and took another seed and started the whole grim process again.

my hamster was really protective of his propertydespite being the only hamster in the fucking house. Jeffrey his name was. I put half a carrot in his tank for him to eat on one day, and looked in on him about an hour later to see an extremely strained-looking hamster staggering around the tank with the entire half-carrot in his cheeks. he looked like he was going to die, it was pretty gross.

I liked most Opal Fruitsat the age of six but the green ones were horrible (or so I imagined) so I fed one to my hamster one evening. I fed it to him in small pieces, cos that was the way that he ate seeds and stuff, and he dutifully hid them away in his pouches until the whole lot had gone. Next morning, I went to see hamster and found him on his back, very dead, with green ooze stuck around his teeth and mouth - very distressing when you're such a tender age.
