Droppie lost some weight

[Veer]

She was around 48-50gr a week ago.
In the past week she has been emptying her bowl everyday, she didn't do that before.
I haven't searched for a hoard yet, but she must have a big one somewhere.
I had her out this morning and noticed that she felt light.
She lost weight in a week and now weighs 42grams.
She seems happy and healthy otherwise
Could it be the change of seasons?
It is darker during the day and gets dark earlier in the evening.
What do you think?
Maybe i should check her teeth, but how?

It is worrying when they lose weight. I'm not sure how to examine a hamster's teeth. That is a tricky but important question. I'm not sure how a vet would look at them without sedation. Teeth can be a big worry with rodents. If you find something quite hard on her hoard that has been chewed, such as a peanut or maize kernel, that might be reassuring. I hope lovely Droppie regains her weight soon
