Seed stuck in pouch... I think

[Dalis_mum]

Hi all

I was palpating Edison for lumps and bumps last night and found something tiny (seed sized) in the back/bottom of one of his pouches. I suspect it's a stuck seed. It's still there this evening.

I am just wondering how long I should leave it for him to remove himself and when I should consult a vet to have his cheeks flushed/ checked for something more sinister?

I feel like I'm being an over protective parent.

Advice appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I wouldn’t worry much tbh. Most my hamsters have atleast a few seeds in their pouches at all times — their pouches are basically snack pockets lol
