Question No weight gain

Shadow is now 6-7 months. He's been on Harry Hamster since the day I got him. I recently bought a set of kitchen digital scales. Ive weighted him twice, once last week and again this week. His weight seems to be staying around 105g. Is this a normal weight for I'm guessing a small syrian? He does seem a little boney when holding him but he's always been that way.

That is very small Syrian indeed. I thought mine was very small weighting 150gm! I think around 6 months they grown fully and don't seem to put much weight on any longer.
Did you try to feed your hamster with little extra stuff like baby food, mealworm, doggy dental chews, doggy biscuits and extra hanging chew stuff for hamster etc? It might help him to gain a little more weight.

For a small syrian that could be ok, it'd just be at the small end is all

Try giving him some peanut butter. A little a day
Should give him some extra fat and protein

Try and give him fatty foods, but not too fatty mind. He should slowly put on weight.
