The sulfatrim may well have affected her appetite. To help with weight gain you could give her a nut 2 or 3 times a week as a treat - eg pecan nuts (shelled) are very high in healthy fats so help weight gain. Most nuts are but pecans have the highest. But I'd only give a pecan once a week and maybe half a brazil nut in between. (All shelled nuts I mean).
Hemp seeds can also help with weight gain and contain most vitamins and minerals needed. I put a little pinch of them on a separate dish and they get licked up - I think they taste a bit nutty. I got the Linwoods shelled hemp seeds from Holland and Barrett originally but got my last packet of hemp seeds from sainsburys (healthy food to put on hooman's cereals!).

Wont shelled pecans be too tough for my hamster to crack into?
