Re: Small hamster?
They are variable in size depending on their genetics and their rearing when young. He will continue to grow and fill out till he is about 6-7 months old. As long as he is healthy, active and feels fairly well covered when handled I wouldn't worry about his weight. A pet shop hammy we had here for taming came to us at about 4 months and he was only 83g but we did feed him some extras and he is now 101g and has gone home. I doubt he will ever be a big boy. I'd say anywhere from 100g to 200g would be fine for an adult syrian.
