My hamster, Tuggers, is a Teddy Bear Hamster (Syrian Rex) and he is coming on to his 4th or 5th birthday.
Lately he has been making ALOT of noice, i mean alot. Squeking and eveyr thing, he is right now in his little house! And he doesnt seem to be in pain, but he doesn tit all the time. When hes eat, cleaning him self, walking around, ect.
Whats arong? WHy is he makign so much noice all of a sudden, its been like thsi for a few days. He's eating and drinking fine, exersizing a little less, but hes old. And befor ehe NEVER EVER squeked.
Im really worried now, he seems perfectly healthy, doesnt look or seem hurt.
Whats wrong?
Thanks.
 
It's probably just normal behavior but he is VERY old for a hamster and if you are really concerned you should take him to the vet. That way you can be sure that nothing is wrong with him.

Chances are, he most likely does have something wrong with him. I hope he will be ok.
 
While he may not appear to be in pain, he is old, and he can be developing arthritis.

not much you can do, cept make sure he doesn't need to go up or down any ramps, through any tunnels, or into anything for his bed or food/water. Best thing is to keep everything near so he doesn't need to move as much.
