Bar chewing injury?
My rescue Syrian hamster Joe has this bump on his face.
He lived in a tiny cage that was all metal bars, the shelves were metal bars, even the access ramp was a metal spiral.
His face is like nose - dent - bump so i assumed that the bump is caused by consistent bar chewing.
He doesn't bar chew now because he has a wheel to run in, food to forage for, nests to build etc.
I'm just looking for people's opinions here in case i'm missing something.
My querie is: is the bump likely to be from bar chewing or could it be something i should get checked out by the vet?
Joe is fine with getting picked up and stroked but he doesn't like me touching his face.
