This isn't an answer persay but I thought I'd mention that my hamster did this too occasionally and my guinea pig too. I have no idea why but I haven't found it to be a problem. It maybe have something to do with the fact that they eat some of their poos if the food in them wasn't fully digested and there are still nutrients in the poo.

∙ 6y agoHamsters store food in special cheek pouches, so they can carry as much food as possible back to the nest. A hamster in the wild is in great danger from predators, so the less time spent outside in the open, the better. Even tame hamsters, instinctively pack their check pouches even when safe in a hamster cage.

What does it mean when your hamster is hiding food in the corner of his or her cage?
That's completely normal. Also, they don't hide all of it. The hamsters put some of the food in their cheek pouches (hamsters have little pouches in their cheeks that the hamsters like to store food in for later, and they spew it back out later to eat). The stuff that the hamsters hide is food storage. Usually the hamster will just pick one corner and put it all there, but sometimes the hamsters will use the whole cage area to hide it in.
