Default Re: I think my hamster is overweight

Hamsters don't often get overweight & it sounds as though you're feeding the right amount so as long as your ham doesn't get too many treats don't reduce the amount of food.
Scatter feeding or hiding food around the cage or in things like little boxes or toilet roll treat toys helps keep them busy & active & they enjoy hunting out their food.
What wheel does she have & does she use it much? A good wheel & some out of cage time in a playpen with lots to explore should provide enough exercise.
They do vary a lot in size so she may be fine but knowing her weight & keeping a check on it regularly will help to know if she's doing ok.
