I'm trying to find out if this is something I should call a vet for. I've had my hybrid dwarf hamster Egg for about seven weeks now. For the first month or so, she was steady at 50 to 54 grams. I weighed her every week and forgot one week in late October. When I weighed her on Halloween, she was suddenly 40 grams. Now, on November 10th, she's 35 grams. I've had people tell me that she may have been a bit chubby before I adopted her, but I'm concerned at how quickly the weight loss has happened.

Other than this, she seems perfectly healthy. She's active, eats everything I give her (including hard foods -- she's chewing through a peanut husk as I type this), doesn't seem dehydrated, and I can't find anything wrong when I do a health check. No lumps, no discharge, her eyes, ears, and nose are clear...it's just that she's quickly losing weight. I'll post pictures of her body condition -- she doesn't look thin to me, honestly I probably wouldn't have noticed she was smaller if I didn't weigh her -- so you can see. The first one is right after I got her and all the others will be from the last week. Thanks in advance!
