Wow I'd love to do this but Biscuit would escape in seconds!

Little Bear (male Syrian, about 1 year old): 208g!
It's funny, as I was worried Little Bear was too thin and light, which was why I weighed him! Turns out I probably don't need to be anxious about that...

Mozzarella is only a month old, and growing like wildfire. She eats more than Colby and gains weight every day. She's going to be a good sized ham.

I've been weighing Bracken and Rue but it's the first time I've posted in this thread.

Bracken, 6mths Winter White is 41g

Rue, 16wks, dwarf Russian hybrid (I assume as she came from the pet shop) is 77g!

Being new to the hamster world, I'm quite amazed at the difference between Rue and Bracken, given that Rue is almost half the age of Bracken but I see that Daisy is tiny, C, in fact she is just a little bigger than Bracken.

She eats well, although being fussy, it took a while to find the right treats for her but she enjoys her regular food and now rushes to discover what treats I have left for her as soon as she hears me rummaging around on the dining floor! I adore how she'll stand up to smell the air. One of her favourites are shrimp cookies, much to my surprise.

Rue just eats whatever I give her but hopefully she's not gaining too much weight too quickly. I never overload her dish and I go easy on the treats so that she doesn't over indulge.

Got a couple of mine on the scales tonight.

Badger the Syrian weighed in at a nice 187g. His weight has stayed between 186g and 190g for a bit now so happy with him.

Harry the hybrid dwarfie got weighed for the first time today - 68g. Seems that's a good weight so I'm happy with him too!

I'm determined to get Titch the robo on the scales soon... She's grown loads since I've had her

Sofia won't be weighed. She's much too Princess like to get on the scales. Or come near me without hissing... XD

[Colby and the Dwarfs]

Colby is still 150g and Mozza(possibly pregnant female) has gone up to 146g!

Tiny Titch the robo weighed in at 23g at five weeks old <3

I bought a digital scale but I have never been able to get my guys to sit still long enough to be weighed...*sigh*.

I cheat and put the dwarfies in balls lol! Luckily Badger will eventually sit still long enough XD

Now, why didn't I think of that? I will try that. The only way to get over on these guys is to cheat.
