Why does hamster activity change with age?

Experts recommend choosing pets between 4 and 7 weeks of age, as hamsters of this age are more amenable to training and taming. Additionally, your pet’s age may affect its grooming needs and daily schedule.

Hamsters become less active as they age, which can affect their overall health. Therefore, when choosing an animal, it is important to pay attention to its behavior. If your hamster appears active and interested in the world around him, this may indicate he is young and in good health. However, if he is acting passive, it could be a sign of some underlying medical conditions, including age-related issues that you should think about.
