Niblet's Focused Harvest

Niblet, a Winter White dwarf hamster with fur that hinted at turning grey in winter, was an economist. His world was about resource management. He didn't just eat; he assessed, selected, and stored. His food bowl was merely a sorting facility. He would pick through his mix, take the choicest seeds and pellets in his cheek pouches, and distribute them to various hidden caches throughout his cage—some under bedding, some in hideouts, some buried in corners. He had a particular 'thinking spot' where he would sit before making a foraging run. The cage, once a dynamic landscape of hidden treasures, is now just a cleaned enclosure, its complex economy stilled.
