Lump by mouth

t90princesst Aug 13, 2003 09:45 PM

My hampster is about 2 and i just got her back. she had been living at my boyfriend's mom's. i picked her up to play with her and it feels like she has a lot of food on one side of her mouth but its been like this for a while. is it food or a lump? i am getting worried! its huge about the size of her head.

Hi, I'm pretty sure it's a tumor, I just lost a hamster that had three, and one was on her mouth. It didn't seem to bother my hamster at all but you could get it checked out at the vet's to be a 100% sure what it is.

I found out she just had a ton of food in there for some reason. she is an odd hampster. after a while i checked on her and it was gone and all her food was moved.
