Answer 1

I think it is a tumor. My hamster had that and died two months later. If you catch it in time and take it to a vet, you may be able to cure it. Hurry and get your little friend to a vet a.s.a.p.

Answer 2

Go To The Vets.

Sometimes they dont charge Anything.

Please Carm Down or Hammy Will Pick Up On Your Feelings And Get Scared As Well

Answer 3

my mouse had a massive lump thing i think it was a tumor it grew so big it was like another body.. but it didnt seem to hurt or bother her but she died a few months later im guessing it was because of the lump but you should go to the vets or something to get it checked out

Answer 4

Any lump on a hamster no matter how big how small you need to see a vet asap.

My first hamster lived for 3 years and in her old age she grew a small tumor which was represented by a lumpy stomach.

I got a new hamster, I had her for only three months and unfortuantly she died. She had a small lump on her stomach and gradually it grew bigger, I thought she was getting a little chubby, but after a week or two I realised something was wrong.

I took her to see a vet and she had to be put to sleep because she had a tumor which was enlarging her liver and making her anaemic, etc.

I was very upset that she died so young and I'd hate it to happen to anyone else's hamster.

Because your hamster is male it could just be a natural, and tumors are more common in female hamster. But I'd definatley advise you to take your hamster to the vets.

Good luck, and I hope its nothing bad.

take him to the vet!

it wont be really expensive.

if you REALLY definatley cant afford it ring them and theyll give you advice for free.

but you should get in touch quicko because he may have cancer or something awfull and if you get him to the vet in time they could prevent it.

Answer 8

Your hamster may have an abscess or a tumor. If you can find a bite mark or a scratch on the bump, it is most likely an abscess. You have to take him to the vet regularly so the pus can be drained and to go through a course of antibiotics needed to treat the infection. Hope this helps! <3

Answer 9

I would take him to the vets to have him checked out although if it's on his stomach he could very well be a pregnant female and not a guy  but make sure you take him to the vets just to be safe

Answer 10

I want to say this as gently as I can. hampsters have a very short life, we had the greatest hampster for about a year and a half, he had a lump the vet said he would pass and it was a very common cancer we were sad and did not want him to pass we took care of him and he lived quite a while longer, one day when we checked on him he was gone, we were quite sad, I am not sure if it is because maybe we fed him wrong or if it was the lump from from hamturo's problem. we loved him and enjoyed him kept him healthy and happy that is all one can do, don't spend your time worrying, but in enjoying your hamster

Answer 11

well, it might be a tumor?

but it also might be a nipple, or his p***s?

idk, i haven't had a hamster in a while.

Answer 12

You brought a hamster.. yet you aren't able to finance it's veterinary needs?

Answer 13

It may be pregnat but to be on the safe side maby you should visit a vet.

If anything bad happens (wich i dout) im very sorry.

If its on its bum then it is t******l all boy hamsters have them (mine dose)

Answer 14

An bump?

Okay... Anyway, it could just be his belly-button.

You kind of need to calm down?

Just get an appointment at the vets to make sure.
