Sorry to hear Rodney is showing his age. And yes they decide they are still up for activity - almost like a second breath - keep active as long as they can! I've found with our ageing Syrians (over two years) they are still pretty speedy on the flat floor - just not great at anything that isn't flat! Even when Charlie was two and a half and could hardly use his back legs, he used to be pretty speedy on the floor and kind of dragged his back legs behind him. He was my longest lived hamster so far - 2 years 8 months.
