They are mostly fully grown at 8 weeks but can still grow a bit after that. He might be about to have a growth spurt. What diet is he having? You need a good hamster mix with all the nutrients in, like Tiny Friends Harry Hamster. Also you can supplement the protein a bit when they're young - a little bit of scrambled egg on a teaspoon goes down well - maybe every other day. Also you can put a few fresh extras out - maybe a different one each day. A tiny piece of cheese, half a brazil nut, half a pecan nut or walnut. Or a small piece of plain cooked chicken (no spices or gravy or anything) if you have some in some time.
