MY HAMSTER WONT EAT

Question
My hamster no longer likes to eat his food. It is bag food that I get at the pet store. He also does not play on the ferris wheel too much anymore. He will be a year in March or April because he was purchased in May of last year.

Answer
Hello Danielle,
was he purchased this May or May 2006? It sounds like he's getting up in years and is getting old. A lot of times a change up of food and daily vitamins can make all the difference. The vitamin drops I use are Oasis Vitamin Drops that you can find at PetSmart. I hope this helps.
