I think the fur and colour of a hamster can contribute towards their overall appearance and the way their head is shaped as well.

I have currently three hybrids, two are mine, one is a lodger and they all looks so different. The one with the fluffy fur looks rotund, the short furred dark one looks perfectly proportioned and the pointy faced lodger looks skinny.

Funnily enough, the rotund looking one is the least interested in food and the skinny one munches everything put in his cage.

I also prefer my hams to a bit on the heavier side and don't worry about them overeating especially when i see the size of their huge hoards.
