Why does my hamster has a big bump in his area?

Question

its in his area and we think its a tumor but then we don't know if its a boy or a girl.please help we dont want it to die!=[

Answer 1

Its probably his balls. Don;t worry about it, he's probably a boy. See male hamsters have huge, I mean like huge testicles, they are massive. Its not uncommon for new hamster owners to think their hamster has a tumour only to find out that its his balls.

Its really nothing to worry about. If your unsure, lift your hamster up and take a look, if its his balls it will be sorta obvious,if its not then get him to a vet and see what they can do :)

Good luck with your hamster :)

Answer 3

Answer 6

since you need to know whether it is a male or a female here is a website, http://www.hamster-heaven.com/sexing.htm...

hope this helps,if it is a male then don't worry its supposed to be there,if it is a female then I suggest a vet to see her.

Answer 7

Ok if it is a boy if will be very obvious... rodents have very large reproductive organs. Otherwise, it could be a tumor if the hamster is getting old (2 years can be pretty old for a hamster). If this is so, its a good idea to get it checked out by a small animal vet. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Are there actually two big bumps? If so, you have a boy, and those are his boy bits.

Answer 9

Possible Tumor. Or a cancer lump :( . Sorry
