Do hamsters have a bone underneath between their front legs?
Hi. So I have 2 hamsters. Hotchner is about a year n half old and I've only had him about 6 months. I've noticed that he has what feels like a small bone around his bottom uper body/neck. Between his legs I'm guessing. Im pretty sure I can only feel it when he lifts his head up
I was just wondering if this is normal? My other hamster doesn't have it as far as I can tell, and while it does feel like a bone I just wanted to see if anyone knew if they had a bone there. He seems like any other hamster, running around, climbing eating and drinking. He seems happy as far as I can tell
Thanks
(to clarify it's his underneath)

Some hamsters have what is called a floating rib which can be felt near the breastbone in the position you describe. It is not uncommon and can be due to on injury when a pup or later on. It never seems to cause them any issues and is sometimes more obvious than other times.
