How did my hamster die?

Ok well, one suggestion would be the bedding. If the bedding what like cotton or soft. Your hamster might of ate some and it got stuck in its cheek pouch and suffocated. I also heard of dyeing of fright. My one hamster dyed of fright because my kitten was knocking on his cage! Your hamster might of died of something else and the thing in its cheek might of just been food that he was storing. Sorry bout your hamster. Mine died over spring break :(. I got two new chinese dwarf though and i am being very precocious about them. Oh yea! one more thing about the bedding. Pine and cedar are bad for hamsters and cause respiratory problems.
