Default Old Age?

He's still quite young, My Pickle is one in feb and he's still very active, Peanut is slower and doesnt use his wheel as much but still runs like a looney during floor time.. They def drink and sleep more as they get older..

There is an article here on the WIKI
The Care of Elderly Hamsters - Hamster Central WIKI
All hamsters age at different rates and he will be showing some signs of ageing already I imagine.
