Hamster Weigh-in

Today I took Laverne and Sofia to get their nails trimmed. Even thought they have lots to dig in and climb through, these girls just have long nails!

I decided it was a great time to weigh them.

I weighed them in the carrier before we left for the vet and then the carrier alone (once they were in their cages).

Sofia weighed in at 30 grams today! I think she’s looking a little rounder these days, so I’d like to keep an eye on that. It looks like a robos weight can have a wide range, somewhere between 25-43 grams is healthy.

(Steven weighed 40 this week, so keeping an eye on him! Although he is a much bigger robo).

Now for Laverne:

Laverne is inside- totals 346 grams

Without Laverne the carrier weighs 292 grams

346-292 = 54 grams

According to various sources on the internet, 43-57 g is the average range for a dwarf hamster, so she’s doing well.

The vet tech said both hammies were so sweet and didn’t bite! She said she hardly sees dwarf hamsters who don’t bite, so that was a nice compliment! Well done, girls! 👍
