Hi all :)
Well I just got a dwarf hamster from my friend. I paid £20 for the hamster and a complete cage setup. The hamster is around 2 years old, but I have only just noticed something. It has this huge lump on its behind. Honestly, its almost the size of his tummy, shaped like a large nut. Its a boy so it cannot be pregnant. What could it be? Has anyone had something like this before on their hamster?
All good answers receive +rep :)

ask the kid who sold you it about it
It gonna die if it 2 years old lmao :|
I wouldn't say this was funny. I don't know much about hamsters, and I am just asking.Quote:

I would take it to the vet to be sure anyways
I have also just noticed it is starting to scratch and bite the lump.

if it looks like that then its normal
Here is a low quality picture, sorry its really bad but the the lump is that thing in the middle that kind of almost looks like its head.
It doesn't have any hair on it, its pink/red.

if its not the hamsters privates it could be a tumor as its quite old. so if you notice the lump has gone away it is deffo the privates. they come in and out all the time
Sorry its hard to get a good quality photo, he is half asleep and I can't get him to move so I can get a good pic :P Also, no its bigger than that and its pink skin with no hair.Quote:
