Weight loss can be dependent on a few things, and as long as you don't think it is illness I wouldn't be overly worried. A few of mine have lost weight, and usually do this time of year, one of mine lost 18 g last year, another 60g before hibernating, put fair bit back on and plus and then losing similar this year. Somewhat because they stopped eating 3 weeks ago but are still pretty active in the warm weather, especially with the digging. My spur though is out in all sorts of weather chomping away at everything and anything still, racing round, will be keeping a beady eye on him.
