if it is a black hamster then the signs are grey or white hairs. another sign is sadly lumps on body or aka cancer. if this is the case dont make it suffer and have it put down by your veternarian. also the lifespan of a hamster is 2-3 years. your lucky if a hamster lives to 3 although i once knew on that lived to four. look up how to tell how old your hamster is on Google. by the way whats your hamsters name and what kind is it???

There are actually a lot of symptoms of old age. If the hamster's fur is thinning or changing color, cataracts are showing in their eyes, or they seem to get more crabby, it's possible that old age is the reason. Keep in mind when self-diagnosing your hamster, however, that they live only for a few years. Five at the most. If a younger hamster is experiencing these symptoms, I would contact your local small animal vet.

The animal would become lethargic, with sparse and labored breathing.

A dying hamster may not move as it used to. It may also have a reduced heart rate because it is struggling.
