Hi everybody,
I have a hamster about 7 months old. she comes from a pet store and is a russian (possibly hybrid) dwarf hamster. she has been with me for about 4 months now. in the past few days she has lost some weight. she used to weigh around 48grams, but just now she weighed 43grams (I weigh her almost daily) she does hoard, likes to gnaw, I don't see any strange behavior (not even on the images from the night camera) and I have known her teeth as far as possible and they look normal.
her stool also looks normal.
she has enough food, has a decent supply. i already fed some extra in the past few days.
could there be a logical explanation for the weight loss?
two weeks ago I switched from only bunny nature dwarf hamster expert food to a mix of 1/3 bunny pre and 2/3 getzoo dwarf hamster light food.
