Unhappy 1 & 1/2 year old not eating...help!!!

I have a one and a half year old winter white who isn't eating much! I am so worried, his bowl looks like he hasn't been eating anything but the sunflower seed and his occasional veggie. My other hammies are eating just fine.
Could it be his food? I give all of them "all living things hamster and gerbil food"
Or is it his age?

If you scruff him he should open his mouth for you to look inside.
It would also be a good idea to check hes not loosing weight, as this could be a sign of teeth problems or underlying illness.

I found Peggy became very picky when she was about 2 years old, but after a change of food she started to eat better again.
