Pregnant Hampster ?

Question
Hi, just a few days ago I noticed my one of two hamsters, living in the same cage since I bought them, has developed a round mass near its anus.  I'm not sure if it is pregnant or not and am a little worried about it.  I have a second cage but will not be able to get a second water dripper until friday, any alternatives? Also, if it is pregnant should I immediately separate them.  Thank you for your time.

Joe

Answer
Joe,
I am sure that your hamster is not pregnant. Are you sure is it not a male because it's testicles can get quite large and look like its a infection or like you said a round mass. That all I can do to help you. If it gets worst go to your vet.
