Default New hamster owner, say hello to Jaffa! <3

Sup! Me and my girlfriend recently got a hamster as of today, shes currently settling in perfectly in her bin cage we made for her. I'll attach a couple of photos of her in her old cage before she came to us! I'm worrying a bit about her weight as I cant tell if shes just a large hamster or overweight, but I'll have to find a way to figure that out.

But anyways, say hello to Jaffa our little 6 month old cutie!

Hello and Welcome to Hamster Central!
Jaffa is really cute. Lovely sweet name too!
Syrians hamsters can vary a lot in weight - they can range between 100g to 200g and some individuals can even weigh more. The best way to check weight is by weighing her on an electric scale - but from the pictures she doesn't look overweight to me.

Welcome to HC & congrats on getting Jaffa

She doesn't look particularly big at all in those photos although it's not that easy to judge, she does look cute though!

Shes settling in okay at the moment, will take treats out of my hand and let me stroke her without any hesitation, even came up to my finger and gave me a little nibble! Although she's a bit scared to be picked up at the moment, she still gets her playtime with us everyday<3

Hello and welcome to HC, Quacky! Jaffa is gorgeous, and I love her name. Her coloring is quite lovely, too. She doesn't seem overweight to me, either, but I would invest in an electric scale to monitor her weight just to be sure. Eros says, "Hi!" and waves a paw.
