Weight Loss

[danielle]

I noticed that my Syrian Haffertee has lost some weight so I popped him on the scales to check him out and he's dropped from 120g at his heaviest to 100g. My other Syrian is a chunky 140g and so I'm worried if there's something wrong with Haffertee. He doesn't seem to have any lumps or obvious physical abnormalities other than looking distinctly thinner and I'm sure he's still eating although he's not as enthusiastic about his babyfood porridge as usual! He's very active as always- perhaps too active! I'm worried about the weight loss-might it just be all the exercise he does or even the hot weather? Or should I head straight to the vets?
Thanks for your help!

how old is he? it's normal for hams to lose weight as they get older, say 18m plus or even sometimes just over a year.

He's nearly 11 months old.
