If he seems healthy, eats a good diet then it may not be anything to worry about.
If they are underweight they do generally look quite bony, you can often see the spine outlined & they may appear a bit hunched too.
Im not sure but she always has been small shes eating burgess hamster harvest dwarf and is still as active and appears to be as healthy as normal bright eyes clear ears and nose ect she doesnt appear ti have lost weight when i handle her and she doesnt feel very boney maybe a bit more boney than the other but not muchx
