Is my hamster gonna die soon?

Question

hes lazy wont move much but he eats alot! or is he just getting old. hes almost 2

Answer 1

2 is about it for a hamster, the smaller the pet the shorter lifespan they have usually. As long as he's eating and drinking I'd say he's ok. Hamsters do sleep a lot.

Answer 2

Little rodent animals can live up to about 4 years, but the problem is, you never really know how old they are when you buy them at the pet store.  It is always a good sign if they are still eating and drinking, but if you are worried, be on the safe side and take him to the vet.  

Answer 3

it could be that hes old or that he is bored put soming new in the cage and c if he perks up a bit i not then  it may be that he old

Answer 4

tell ur vet he or she will know what to do

Answer 5

the same think happened to mine...He till might has a few months to go.

get him cranberry juice with no sugar. it helps him lose weight since he's lazier

Answer 6

He is getting older, but take him to an exotics vet. He may still have a good whole year ahead of him and there's something simple the vet could help you with.

Answer 7

Does he have any forms of excersise? If not, get him a wheel, or a plastic ball to roll around in. If he just does not want to run or move, then maybe seek a help site, or take him to your local pet store to see if they have an idea. I would say store over site though.http://www.angelfire.com/jazz/hamsters//...
