Re: How to help a hamster lose weight
All my syrians love to stash their food. I try to feed a tiny amount each day (scatter fed) to give them something to do.
If you give them too much they may only eat the fattening yummies like the seeds but its quite hard getting the amount just right!
Do you have scales that you can weigh her with? It may be a good plan to weigh her once a week.
Perhaps cut out the yoghurt drops for now and offer her treats like kale or dandelions (leaf and flower).
You could hide her food in loo roll tubes folded over so she has to work to get to it. I put theirs in egg boxes sometimes.
The hamster balls are ok (imo) if they have the choice ie offer it and if she goes in give her 5 mins then offer her the choice to come out.
Best of luck I do hope she manages to lose a bit of weight.
