hamster tumor?

Question
I just noticed a big lump between my hamster's hind legs.  It isn't
red and it doesn't seem to bother her when it is touched.  She
doesn't appear sick.  Should I be concerned?  She is about 2 years
old.

Answer
Hi Megan,


       It is more than likely a tumor. As long as she is eating, drinking, and being her normal self there is really no reason to be concerned. Givin' her age, I wouldn't take the chance of having it removed.

Thank you for writing!
