Re: Elderly chinese hamster.
What food is he on tidy`s mummy? cypher is right about checking his teeth length and preparing his food by breaking up any larger extruded biscuits using either a pestle & mortar or a hammer and a freezer bag. I often promote the food Supreme Science Selective hamster for older animals as it`s a good whole biscuit shaped food that can be fed on it`s own, broken up, or mashed into a tasty meal with other things like crushed nuts and seeds. That way he`s also eating a hamster diet and not solely relying on human foods, so could enjoy a bit of both.
He will sleep more so don`t worry about that. He`s a wonderful age so you must be doing something right! x
