I have noticed that Quigley always fills his left pouch first. And, if you give him a treat and both pouches are empty, he will put it in his left pouch. This leads me to believe he could be “left-pouched” in the same way humans can be “left-handed”.

Has anyone else observed a preference for using one pouch in their hamsters?
