I'm not sure what the growth rates are in Syrians but I've found that in my Chinese it really has been an individual thing. Cora for example, was a good weight at four months old but Charlotte didn't reach her full adult weight until she was about eight months old.

There's also the fact that hamsters can have an individual build and some are just naturally larger than others. Again, I'm not too knowledgeable of Syrians but Jack, who is my largest Chinese at the moment weighs 58g which is the same weight that Matthew, who was one of my previous Chinese was. Matthew always had a chunkier build but he felt fat at that weight wheras Jack, who has a longer, leaner build seems quite healthy at that weight.
