Re: please help!
The stripes are veins, from what I can see in the picture. All looks normal so do not worry.
As for the decreased activity, that is likely just due to your hamster growing up. I expect he was a baby when you first got him and as they get older and more settled they get less energetic. However, if he does not move at all this is not normal and may require a vet trip.
