Well done for taking him on, he's so lovely it's sad to think someone could abandon them like that.
Do you feed him the same as your syrians? Hybrids are more prone to diabetes as SinNyx said, so you should feed him something made for dwarf hams if you can & avoid fruit, or anything that is naturally high in sugar as well as sugary treats.
If you don't do it already you could try scatter feeding rather than using a bowl, it would give him a little more exercise & they usually enjoy it.
