Yes, this is called a pouch if you watch a hamster put food in its checks they can stuff food in a secret pouch or glands witch they can go later and remove to food from their checks and eat later.The scent also helps the hamster remember that they have the food in there pouch.
To treat impacted cheek pouches in Syrian hamsters, first gently restrain the hamster and carefully examine the affected cheek pouch. Using a warm, damp cloth, gently massage the impacted area to try to dislodge the food or debris. If this does not work, seek veterinary assistance immediately as impacted cheek pouches can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Your vet may need to sedate the hamster to manually remove the blockage or provide other necessary treatments.

When your Hamster is putting food in his mouth, and not swallowing it, it means he/she is putting food in his cheeks. it doesn't hurt them, they just store them into their cheeks for later. Every hamster does that, don't worry too much! ~Hope this helps!~
All hamsters have pouches located right where the cheeks would be. The opening to the pouch is located in the mouth so that is why a hamster would be spitting out food and placing big pieces of food in their mouth.
Some signs that your hamster may be having trouble getting something out of its cheek pouch include excessive drooling, pawing at its mouth, and appearing unable to close its mouth. If you notice these symptoms, it's best to take your hamster to a veterinarian for evaluation and possible treatment.
A hamster is not an animal that has a pouch. It carries its young in its uterus until birth.
Guinea pigs have no mouth pouch. Try to open the animals mouth to check if food is stuck in a tooth. If you are unable to check take the animal to a vet as this can get much worse. im sure they have a stomach pouch or just putting on weight iin a lump sorry but i thought they had food pouches
Hamsters can store food in their cheek pouches for up to several hours before they need to transfer it to their food storage area. This behavior allows them to gather food quickly in the wild and bring it back to their burrow to eat later.
