Ganondorf has stuffed his cheek pouches so full of food that he cannot empty them. When I try to carefully and gently massage the food out just enough so that he can get the rest out on his own, he tries his best to run off. I let him go hide because I do not want to scare him and ruin our developing relationship, although I check on him about every fifteen minutes. What else can I do to help him?
Next time I fill his bowl, I will not put enough in it to stuff his cheeks all the way. I did not even realize that I had put so much in.
I have had this happen to a couple hamsters before with various things like toys and bedding, so I do have a bit of experience and know how to get the food out, but Ganondorf is not cooperating like the other hamsters did.
