Okay, well about 3 months ago i was playing with my gerbil and i felt a little bump on his stomachh and at first i left it alone thinking he may have been nibbling on himself the day before and it was raw.

but today i looked and its gotten to be about the size of a grape and is right over his p***s and i dont know what it is?

is it a tumour?

please help he means alot to mee

he is also about 4 and a half years oldd.

Answer 1

3 months ago!! It's a tumour and you should have taken him to the vet right away if you actually care about him. It must be removed and that can cost a lot. My rat just had a tumour removed and it cost $350. Dont tell me you cant aford that. If you cant aford the vet, you cant aford the pet.

Answer 2

my rat had a tumor. it was benign but you need to take him to the vet...RIGHT AWAY!  In that area, it could be a prostate tumor.  Mine was female and it was a mammary tumor.  Its probably benign but take him to the vet, it may start affecting his ability to walk if it gets to big.

good luck!

Answer 3

Skip the vet, just pound the bump back in with a hammer
