Hamsters don't overeat and they need enough food to eat and to keep a hoard. They like to forage for food daily and need to have food available to them at all times because that's what hamsters do. It's a natural instinct and they can become unhappy and anxious if food is in short supply.

I don't know what and how much you feed your hamster but as a general guide i'd feed a Syrian hamster a tablespoon full of hamster mix daily, some fresh vegetables like broccoli, cucumber, carrot, kale etc cut into very small pieces, a few brown linseeds, pumpkin or sunflower seeds as treats and maybe a bit of scrambled egg or plain chicken now and again.

Going by what i have just mentioned on feeding, do you think that you have been feeding her too much or too little or roughly that?
