I think it might be because of winter is coming up i have only had her a month so it can't be old age.
Also when you get your hamster out do they suddenly become very energetic? xx

My hamster becomes very speedy and energetic when I get her out. It's because they're excited and are happy to be out to see you and play.

Hmmm yes my Cookie gets very excited when she comes out, she goes absolutely crazy!! It's so cute! It's just she seems to always be in her house recently over the last week or two.

Mine change their routines a lot, so it's fine

As Sprout has gotten older, he gets up for 20 minutes stints about 3 times a night and is mostly up during the day which is strange!

Shadow and Skittles don't come out much as they're aging, but my youngest - Luna is up all night, I'm guessing because she is young?

I think I just have lazy hams :P

Im glad Milos behaviour is normal then, thanks all of you! I also noticed a bit of hair loss round his shoulder, but no redness, or dry skin is that just from ageing? Hes 1

[Saffy]

Yeah im sure he is ok, personally i think it is because of the cold weather coming up.

Yeah, my hamster's fur is just beggining to thin out a little and she's just over 1 so if there are no other signs I'm certain it's to do with his age.
