Hi,
I have recently taken in a female syrian hamster, she was bought from a pet shop, by the original owners, a couple of weeks before Christmas 2021 so she'd be approximately a year old, give or take a few weeks. I knew she'd been malnourished because she was on typical herbivore seed and grain mix her whole life. Since she's been with us she's been introduced to fresh veg and proteins (meal worms, hard boiled egg and unseasoned, cooked meats) alongside a seed and grain mix. I found a female syrian hamster growth chart and weighed her the other day. According to the chart, because she's definitely over 15wks, she should weigh between 170-220g but she's weighing in at around 140g. What can I do to help build her up and get her within the "healthy weight range"?!?!
