What 🐹 means

A round hamster face with full cheeks. It suggests cuteness, small pets, and stuffing as much food as possible into your mouth.

Pet owners use it for their hamsters, and friends use it to tease someone with chipmunk cheeks or a mouth full of snacks. The hamster wheel also makes it a symbol of running in circles and overthinking.
