    My dwarf hamster has two HUGE lumps on her lower stomach what are they?
    My dwarf hamster who is only about one year old has two lumps on her lower stomach. They look pink and have a few scabs. They are HUGE and take up almost her hold stomach. She seems to be active and eats and poops OK I think. I have not paid attention to her for a while so I don't know how long she has had them. Probably not more than a few weeks. Please help me know what to do!

    She needs to be seen by a Vet - if you don't have the time to care for her it would be in her best interest to be placed with a family that does have time for her.

    Who has been cleaning her cage and feeding her while you've been otherwise occupied? Didn't they notice anything?

    There are too many possibilities.

    I did notice that you said you haven't been paying attention to her lately. Does that include cleaning her cage?

    If not, then it's possible that the scabs and the lumps could be from living in an unclean environment.

    Take her to a vet, that's all you can really do.
