I can understand you being concerned if she is losing weight. What hamster mix is she on? They need enough protein in their first year. You rarely see hamsters eating in my experience - they pouch and hoard and then snack from their hoards. 22g weight loss is quite a lot - although 154g is a healthy weight as well, depending on how big the hammy is. Did you use the same weighing scales each time? I know scales can be unreliable and fluctuate. Do you have a photo of her?
