Can a hamster overeat?
    I free-feed my hamsters.  They really don't eat as much as we think they do- they tend to stash alot of it under the shavings- I find alot of things I thought they had eaten when I change their bedding.
     Hamsters tend to run off most of what they eat, and a little chubbiness is not harmful. I would only control her eating if she begins to become obese. Also, see this page:
