Re: Emptying Cheeks
I think Cupcake likes you and wants to share her food with you.
It can also be a defence response but in that case she'd spit the food at you like ammunitation. Usually aimed at a vet.
They sometimes empty their pouches when uncomfortable or in a hold.
I think that there can be a number of reasons depending on the circumstances.
My hamsters have only ever done this when uncomfortable. At the vet's or when i get them in a hold for a nail trim or to administer medication.
