Hamster weigh-in thread
I was just inspired by another thread talking about sizes of hamsters. Keeping track of your hamster's weight with regular weighing is always a good idea, something I do every few weeks or so. It's useful to spot any trends in growth or weight changes that might not be so obvious to the naked eye right away. I thought if we had a thread here, we could all post our hammies' weights every now and then to keep track and encourage each other to do it!
I use ordinary digital kitchen scales, and usually place the hamster in a bowl or something to keep them still (the girl robos, who are so lively, have to be weighed in their travel box or they'd be off).
What does everyone think?

Re: Hamster weigh-in thread
With all this talk of weights recently I forgot I hadnt weighed my Mo for a while. She seems to have gained a bit...when she stood still for 1 second she hit 185g, but then it changed to 179, 180, 177 every time she moved so not quite sure what the proper weight is!!
She was 174g a little while ago so has put on a little (or alot if she really is 185g) must be those mealworms she loves!

Re: Hamster weigh-in thread
Nibbles is currently 188g, at one point he got up to 210g but that was around the time we realised he had stopped using his Silent Spinner (6.5"), we set about getting him a bigger wheel - he now has a Silent Spinner 12" - and he steadily dropped back to his curent weight of 188g.

Re: Hamster weigh-in thread

I don't have digital scales. Toffee weighs approximately 150g. He is approx 7 months old and is a P@H ham.
