Skinny Teenager?

[samincittagazze]

My little dwarf Frohike seems to be very skinny of late. I'm not sure if she has lost weight as such, as she has definitely grown longer since I brought her home 5 weeks ago, but she is very much on the slim side. Unfortunately I never thought to weight them when I brought them home, so I can't see if there is any difference. She eats and drinks plenty, and is a normal, curious, active young hamster. Is this normal? She is approx. 15-16 weeks old, has she just not filled out yet like a skinny teenager or a puppy? Should I be worried? Her sisters are proper little chubsters. Any suggestions as to what food I could give her to bulk her out a bit?

Is she living with her sisters? If so maybe its possible shes not getting much food, maybe there a bit dominant? If not imnot sure, sorry :/

No, she lives by herself, as she was bullying them, lol. Her food dish goes down plenty and I just cleaned her out and found no stash of food, so I know she's eating.

Oh, well i really don't know then, im no hamster expert, and ive only ever had two syrians :/

As long as she doesn't loose weight i shouldn't think its a problem. Some are just slimmer than others

Is she a big runner? When I got Jam his spinner he became completely obsessed with it for a few weeks and lost some weight as he never stopped!
