Lump coming from anus?

Flummox · 06-08-2010, 10:51 AM

A few days ago I picked Wellington up and noticed a pink lump coming from his anus. I was in a bit of a rush so decided to look at it again when I got home but when I checked the second time the lump had gone. The same thing has just happened again. I picked him up to put him in his ball and the lump was there, logged on to ask about it on the forum, looked at him again and it's gone. At first I thought it was his penis but it's definitely coming from his anus. Is this a normal thing with hamsters or is there something wrong?

It sounds like its just his balls popping out every so often

This happens all the time with male hamsters, especially when they get hot!

Yea definately just sounds like that, if the lump stays and looks red and sore then take him to the vets, but if it keeps appearing and reappearing it sounds like its just his balls so nothing to worry about
