Is my hamster obese?

[RodentsRule]

I adopted a 8 month old hamster 5 days ago and her weight was 160g I was told she has teath problems and she needs a vet checkup every couple of months ive gave her lots of dog treats and chews and her teath look better I weighed her today and she was 175g which is alot to put on IS THIS NORMAL? She doesnt like any fruit or veg ive tried her on exept lettice, she adores baby food and licks the bowl clean she didnt eat her harry hamster for the first 3 days but is now eating normaly. What is also worrying me is that one of her bottom teath one is orange and the other is white IS THIS NORMAL? She also smells realy strong of urine is this due to not being able to clean herself?
Thanks any advice is much appreciated.

And my male adopted robo hamster is 34 grams is this an ok weight?

It's normal, hamsters usually fluctuate in weight. The mix you are feeding her is likely different to previous too so it's probably helping her gain weight. Hamsters are very good at monitoring their weight and don't over-eat, though do put on weight if they don't get any activity so as long as she has a wheel and time out of the cage she isn't 'obese'
The white tooth may indicate a problem though I don't know much about hamster teeth as never had a problem with any of mine. It's normal for them to be a darker colour, but maybe ask about the white one when you go to a vet next as that could be the issue.

Your robo seems fine as well.

The weight may very well hit a high peak and go down a bit and settle as well. Surprisingly not fat, Penny got up to 191g (though she's younger) and then seemed to settle now at 184g.

As long as your hamster doesn't resemble a tennis ball with feet and whiskers, I'd say she is fine, weight-wise.

It's good that you are monitoring her weight though, what with her teeth problems.

Aw ok thanks ive always had syrians around the 150 gram mark and my largest onenwas 223 grams so she seemed to put alot of weight on in 5 days it might be because i had only put her wheel in her cage yesterday as i ordered it online. Thanks for the info I kept being told he was fat by family members and started to get unsure myself haha.

Yerh i dont think her teath are that big of a problem she had been up for adoption for 2 months and all pets@Home told me is that her teath are to long and dont match up and they had taken her to the vet to get them fixed and will need a vet visit every couple of months, it didnt help that she didnt have any thing to chew on. And no one wanted her due to costly vet bills.
