<P> Hamsters are more crepuscular than nocturnal and , in the wild , remain underground during the day to avoid being caught by predators . They feed primarily on seeds , fruits , and vegetation , and will occasionally eat burrowing insects . As one of their more prominent characteristics , they have elongated cheek pouches extending to their shoulders , which they use to carry food back to their burrows . </P>
