Default Young ham eating selectively and not gaining weight

Hello,

Kalli, my syrian, is on the Pets at Home hamster museli as that is what she was eating when we got her, and looking into it, it seems decent. I give her a level tablespoon every evening, as well as a bit of fresh veg everyday. She always eats the fresh, and all the dried mix gets taken, however I've noticed she is keeping quite a few of the big pieces (orangey round ones, yellow crescent ones) in her hoard. She eats all the other bits mostly. Should this be cause for concern? I wouldn't want her to miss out on nutrition by not eating all the bits.

As a follow on from this, I've weighed her twice since we got her and she is still pretty much 100g. (I don't have digital scales so can't get a precise reading, but planning on getting some). We don't know how old she is exactly but estimate she's nearly 4 months old. She doesn't appear to have changed size to look at either much. However I only weighed her after we had her about a month, so I suppose she could have done all her growing then? Do I need to try to get her to put on some weight?

Thanks!
