I checked my calendar for last week and Skittle was 178g, not 176g.

However, weighed him again tonight and as per, he's gone up by a steady 2g; now weighing 180g.

I just weighed Rosie for the first time, and I'm not sure if my scale is off or Rosie is chubby... 255 grams! Is that unhealthily heavy?

Weighed Marbles for the first time today, he's a Syrian and about 4 months old.

I've had him about 3 weeks now, he's put on a bit of weight since I've had him but never thought to keep track of it, planning to do that from now on.

100g weight - 14cm in length

Weighed Skittle last night for the first time in a while and he's now 188g so has put on a bit but it's a steady, slow gain. He's a Syrian so is a very healthy weight I think and could still put more on without being called fat. He's so cute

My 9 month old Syrian is 163 g

My dwarf is 76 g. Is that heavy for a dwarf? He is 2 years old and I just adopted him last week.

Bailey dwarf hams do vary a lot in size & weight but I would say yours is at the high end, if you just adopted him maybe he hasn't been getting the exercise he needs where he was before & may lose some weight once he settles or he could just naturally be a big ham. I would watch his diet & weigh him weekly to see how he goes.

I'm slightly concerned about my hamster, Pippa. She is a 1 year old Chinese hamster but only weighs 25g. She is quite a fussy eater though. Any ideas how I could fatten her up a bit!?!

That is a low weight for a chinese, mine weighs about 46g but she'll eat almost anything!
I'd try some kitten kibble, pieces of bonio, I use the puppy ones, maybe small amount of cheese, sunflower & pumkin seeds, maybe some hemp & flax seeds, you could try a little chicken too. It really depends what she likes if she's a fussy eater.
Baby food, no sugar or if savoury no garlic or onion might help.

My Campbells are just over 1 year old. I weight them every three/four weeks. Damien i the heaviest at 80g, the lightest is Derek at 40 g.

I've weighed Tyrion for the first time tonight, he's 82g and around 3 months old. He is a shop ham so he would be a bit smaller than breeder hams right?
I've got some more protein based foods coming soon as well as a better hamster mix as he has been a bit selective so far.
