So I've noticed that Scarlett, my agouti Robo, seemed a bit big in the chest area lately. So I picked her up, which she does not enjoy, felt around and found the area soft and fat-like. I find it hard to believe that it is fat that built up in her chest and cheeks area when she does not seem to be overweight for a Robo. She's eating, running, and playing the same; no difference in the way she acts or behaves around Charlotte.
I'd rather not separate as Charlotte freaks out when put alone now. I don't want to stress either one of them.
I am worried it might be a tumor. We have dealt with cancer with other pets, dogs and cats, but Scarlett is my second hamster (Charlotte being the first), so I just don't know. I'll take her to the vet, which I know I most likely have to.
But I scared. I don't want to lose Scarlett.
