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?

I know most hamsters dont live more then 2 years.
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.

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.Last edited by ToxicPaddy; 11-09-2008 at 11:45 PM.

cant see anything lol. but it could be its privates. does it look anything like the picture i posted?
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 timeLast edited by Scouse; 11-09-2008 at 11:51 PM.
