Reduced suction on my Numatic Henry hoover?

I have had my lovely little Henry for many years with few problems... However, recently (since Guinea Pigs came into the family) the suction seems vastly reduced. I have checked the hose and cylinder for blockages, breaks and hay but all is clear... He sounds normal enough but just not performing... Any ideas please.... I really don't want to get rid of him....
