My dwarf hamster is getting fat?

Question

when we got him he was skinny and small

now he chubby and fluffy

I had a dwarf 3 years ago, and he never got fat.

should i be worried?

he can still fit in his tubes and stuff, and he runs in his wheel alot.

Answer 1

They are active animals.

I would reccommend putting an exercise wheel in there for him and reducing his food.

Is he a she? And might be pregnant?

Answer 2

I think you should take him out and let him run around in his hamster ball. And feed him less portions of food. Or go out and buy him some hamster diet food...

Answer 3

Buy a hamsterball. Let him roll in it for 10-20 minutes each day. And give him less food.

Answer 4

You are over feeding or  it's a she.............

Answer 5

Hah. Re name him Chubbs Mcgee.

Answer 6

give him less food and give him more water

Answer 7

it's probably not a boy pet stores usually get the rodent s*x mixed up I'm guessing it's a girl and pregnant.

Answer 8

eat him

Answer 9

it's okay, just make sure he doesn't eat the stuff on the ground in his cage but his food. Only be worried if it loses its hair.

Answer 10

dont feed him as much.

Answer 11

lololol. sorry, i think thats sooo cute! a cute wittle chubby and fluffy hamster!

sorry, anyways if its a little chunky, i wouldn't worry about it. if its like woah-woah-my-hamster-a-big-wad-of-lard fat, then you have a problem! to help your little ball of fluff loose a little of that extra weight, try giving him a set amount of food every day instead of letting him have all-you-can-eat-buffet. this is what i have been doing to my pets to keep them in shape.

good luck! <3
