I believe the answer is:

dormice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'little creatures' is the definition.
'dormice' can be an answer for 'creatures' (dormouse is a kind of creature). I also know that 'little' relates to this answer.

'bedroom that's shared by sweet' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'bedroom' could be 'dorm' (I have seen 'Communal bedroom ' mean 'dorm' so perhaps 'bedroom' could also mean 'dorm') and 'dorm' is found in the answer.
'sweet' could be 'ice' (ice is a kind of sweet) and 'ice' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dormice that I've seen before include "Small field rodents" , "Mammals" , "They will hibernate" , "creatures" , "little things?" .)
