Ah, ok I will freeze it then

What type is the best to get? Ive got her a banana one before and she did eat it but didnt bother too much!

Ruby could just be a small hamster, as long as she's acting normally and eating properly then she should be fine. Treacle was boney feeling for a while and was eating a lot but she's now starting to beef up. Remember she's young and has still got a lot of growing to do, most animals go through a gangly stage. My last hamster wasn't very big, she was 119g at 12 months old, Treacle has already gone past that at almost 18 weeks old but she is big.

does she run a lot on her wheel? maybe she's burning off more than she's putting on.. I would try ready brek for a couple of weeks.. It made my Peanut put on weight and he's tiny

She dosent run on her wheel too much, maybe a bit less than half the time she is awake, but i am sleeping alot when she is awake too so i cant be sure >.< Im going to give her a teaspoon of baby food or porridge 2 times a week or is that too much? This is how small she is compared to her wodent wheel, it was taken about a week or something ago...

Aww that's teeny.

Sen (when sitting in the same sized wheel) can be clearly seen in two holes lol. But she's HUGE. :P

Woah! Sen must be really big

I found some really really old pics and ruby is definitely the smallest ham ive ever had...

my honey was tiny too - just 92g at 4 months untill I got another syrian hamster but this time a male. As soon as she smelled him (I let them play in the balls alongside eachother) she started to put on the weight - she now doubled it! I had Thumper now for two months. I think it helped her.
