Spitting pouched food out?

[lanimeli]

So last night, I offered my hammy some treats from my palm. He willingly came and sat on my fingers while he pouched about three seeds, then he started eating a sunflower seed. He sat on my fingers while eating, but when he finished he spat out the seeds he had pouched back onto my palm and began eating another. It was so weird!! Is this normal behavior?

I have a Syrian hamster.
