Default Re: PLEASE HELP! Hamster has big lump on foot

You need to see a vet with your hamster. This looks like bumblefoot and is an infection in the food causing a swelling and abscess . It's often caused by a bad type of wheel with rungs especially metal ones which can get rusty. You need to take the wheel out for now and check for any rough surfaces. They vet can hopefully diagnose if it is this or a tumour on the foot.
