We have a 2 year and 3 month old long-haired Syrian Hamster that has been very inactive the past week.

He hasn't been coming out and using his exercise wheels and disc.

He's been sleeping past his normal wake time of 9:30pm. I've stayed up until 3am and he's still asleep. And this evening he left his food in his bowl. He also isn't sleeping in his nest. Instead, he's sleeping out in the open and breathing heavily.

I finally took him out around 11pm and he allowed me to hold him without moving away. Usually when he just wakes up, he doesn't want to be held. I gave him some grated cheese, and a piece of celery and carrot. He ate the cheese and pouched the vegetables.

His eyes look clear. His fur is a bit unkept, but I just woke him. His teeth seem normal. His tail is dry.

Does anyone have any ideas?
