How do I properly clean out my hamster's cheek pouch?

Keeping a Roborovski Dwarf hamster in a bonding pouch.?

• I've been reading about sugar gliders and one of the coolest things to me is the suggestion that you keep them in a "bonding pouch", a small fleece pouch that you wear around your neck as you go about your day. The idea is that it provides a warm safe place for them to sleep (gliders are nocturnal) and they will grow to trust you. Now I've done my research, and most of what I've read on the internet say that keeping a hamster in a bonding pouch is a bad idea because a) hamsters are not social creatures like gliders, preferring a solitary life and b) hamsters have a tendency to shred materials like fleece which can cause intestinal blockage if the fibers are ingested. This question, however, purely concerns Roborovski dwarf hamsters. If you're unfamiliar with this hamster you probably shouldn't even be answering this question, but for those who don't know a Robo is a very small hamster that prefers to live in groups. It's generally a very skittish creature, not the type of hamster you'd take out of its cage to play with regularly like a Syrian or Teddy Bear hamster. However, many people have trained their Robos to be very comfortable with them. My question is this: considering the naturally social nature of this specific hamster, how well would it do being kept in a bonding pouch (made of a hamster-safe material) during the day?

• Answer:

  The hamster will get grumpy I would advise against this Hamsters are not very social creatures They are unlike gliders in every way Don't try this the hamster will get mad and never trust you he will think you are a predetor considering this is a roboroski dwarf you need to think it through My answer is NO Also since they are nocturnal they will think you found there den and are a predator that will cause harm to the robo you waking him up during the day is the worst idea you could think of Think it through no is your answer
