Hi everyone. Tonight I noticed that Hoje had a lump right under her bum. I checked her but she's a fidgiter. I noticed that right next to this lump there was a smaller lump even tho looking right at her it looked like the bigger one was central to her bum. Is tiny possible that Hoje is a he not she or is it more likey a vet trip!? She's only a few month old Syrian. She does seem to just lay random places but I don't know if that's due to her resting in between runs. She's active. My dwarfs testicles were big and these seem relatively small. Please advise.

Just to expand the bigger lump is about the size of a pea and is skin colored

I just watched her roaming around and I couldn't see it. Like it's just vanished but I could just not have seen it but I'm sure the same thing happened earlier? Am I going insane or something what cud it be???

Default Re: Hamster lump or hamster testicles?!

It does sound like you may have a male hamster. It can be tricky when they are young to sex them and pet shops often get it wrong. There is a wider gap between the two vents in a male with fur in between. Also females have nipple lines up either side which can often be seen in short haired hammies. The testicles are quite mobile and can easily be pulled up in to the body often when they are a bit nervous. If your hammy seems to be well and eating drinking and moving around I'd give it some time to settle and tame so you can check out the sex properly
