Hamster cheek pouches

Question
Hello~
I work for a small animal breeder and right now she has a siberian Hamster whose cheek pouch has come out of its mouth -it is a large pink cheek inside out hanging out of it's mouth? Is there anyway to get it back in?
Thanks

Answer


     I would take the hamster when they are sleepy, perverably wake it up in the earlier morning. Open the hamsters mouth gently and push the cheeks pouches back in. It might take a few tries because the hamster will squirm, but this should get the pouches back in.
