Answer 4

believe it or not, you can take your hamster to the vet.  in fact, it may be the only way to help your hamster.  the vet will take a biopsy of the bump by inserting a needle into it, and getting a sample of the fluid inside.  only then will you know what the bump on your hamsters neck is.
