weight loss?

PinkDelilah · 05-30-2014, 08:12 AM

My hamster Delilah has lost 16 grams? should I be worried? She weighted 141g and now she weighs 125g.
I have changed her food about a mouth ago so not sure if it has to do with that

When did you last weigh her? Try checking her top teeth as well. If they're missing, it may be difficult for her to eat.

Her teeth are fine

I weighed her last a mouth ago.

How old is she? Hams often lose weight with age so maybe its that?

shes only 4 mouths old....

Then its not age, but 14g isn't a huge amount. Full pouches and a full bladder the first time around could explain it

If the weight loss doesn't continue then I'd not worry really

OK. Thanks for your responses I guess I'll keep an eye on it
