I believe that's the US version of Harry Hamster but could be wrong of course.

Re: Hamster not eating dry food
I would second suggestions to try scatter feeding, I have found more than one of my hamsters will refuse food from a bowl but will hoover it up if they have to go collect it for themself lol

Re: Hamster not eating dry food
I tried looking at her teeth and she was not having it, she non stop moves! I got her at the beginning of July, not sure how old she was but she was tiny. I scattered the food and she seems to have collected it but left her bowl ? I feed her 3 tea spoons every other day and inbetween that day veg or fruit, is that okay?

Re: Hamster not eating dry food
The amount you feed sounds fine, I would continue to feed by scattering half and putting half in her bowl. If you can weigh her that may reassure you, if you have scales that you can zero whilst a jug is on them, put her in the jug and then you will know her weight. You can check every week to give yourself confidence.
You could try some high Calorie treats - sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, etc. If you cook any potato or rice for yourself you can give her a little see how she likes it, no salt though
