QUESTION: Well he is about 6 mounths maybe a little older and i seem to find almost the same amount as usuall

Answer
Hi Chelsea,

    This will happen to male hamsters sometimes. As long as he is eating and drinking well and there is no pus or blood coming from that area, there is nothing to worry about.
