Why do hamsters hide food?

Hamsters hide their food for the winter. Hamsters mainly feed on plant seeds, tender stems, leaves, fruits and occasionally insects. No hibernation. Live by eating stored food in winter.

In addition, some species are omnivorous, such as frogs and other vertebrates. They stuffed food into their big cheek bags and took it back and stored it in their caves. As many as 9 kilograms of hamster caves have been found to store food. Hamsters perceive visual, tactile, auditory and chemical stimuli. When looking for prey, they seem to rely most on vision, but hearing and smell are also important.
