So that's the next thing when he's out of the cage :) If you have flat digital scales it's very easy. Just put those on a large book on the floor. Put a tiny piece of cheese or cucumber in the middle then zero the scales. They usually just walk on to get the food and sit there eating it, then you can read the scales. They can vary in size a lot. Some can be as low as 120g - some 260g!
I got the chance to weigh Grommit tonight. He is 157 grams and he's not 20 weeks old.

He's a good average weight :) He might still grow a bit. Technically they are supposed to be fully grown by 3 to 4 months, which he is now, but they do sometimes keep growing a bit up to about 9 months so he may gain a bit more or may stay the same.

The main thing is to weigh them reasonably regularly especially as they get older, and check the weight remains similar. Although if they lose weight you can usually tell as they get thinner.

That little face! He looks wowed! I'm not sure I've seen one of those before - what's it made of?
 
That is such a beautiful picture of him! I love the expression on his face. 😍
 
I would use it in Grommits playpen rather then his cage. Hamsters like to chew fabric. I bet he will have lots of fun with it in his playpen. :)
 
I haven’t started the next competition yet but when I do you just upload your photo as you do on this thread :)
 
Grommit had some fun tonight whilst in his playpen and his Christmas tree
