Should I fatten him up?!

[HorseyHolly]

I've been reading the hamster weigh in thread and most full grown syrians are about 150 grams. I weighed Grem and he's only 94 I'm pretty sure he's full grown (at least a year old) from what I've been told on here, and I'm sure I'm feeding enough,he doesn't eat all of it anyway. So should I be fattening him up? How should I go about this? I feel really bad now

Don't be silly HH. They are the size they are meant to be and like humans you get big and small, thin and well built, tall and short. As long as he is active, curious, glossy coated and eating and drinking well you have nothing to worry about. You are giving him the best. Don't try and fatten him up - just be generous and he will eat what he needs. You could add a few sunflower hearts to his mix and offer porridge twice a week but the thing to watch is for a sudder weight loss or gain.
