Hello HC!

I have a 2 year old hamster who is more active now than what she was a few months ago. There haven't been any drastic changes to her life, only the usual cage cleanings and rearranging her toys. I've read up on how to care for elderly hams and everything is going great. She looks as healthy as a 2 year old hamster can and she isn't showing signs of dying any time soon. I just wanted to know if it's normal for an elderly hamster to be awake and running on their wheel for at least 4-5 hours in the day and all the way through the night? I barely used to see her during the day unless I called her and she came out. Is she ok?
