Depending on what type of tumor you are talking about. Female rats are susceptible to mammary gland tumors, which usually aren't cancerous. But they do grow, so as soon as you see one (feel you rats all over regularly) have it removed. One of my rats has had about 9 mammary gland tumors so it is best you buy your rats from a reputable breeder, not from a pet store that gets their rats from "rat mills," which she was. Rats can also get cancerous tumors. Watch for suspicious bumps and lumps and if you find any, take them to the vet ASAP. If you can't afford to take your rat to a vet, then you really shouldn't have any. They can be costly and people often think of them as disposable pets, but they aren't. They are just as smart as dogs and you can teach them many things. They don't live long (2 - 3 years) and they depend on their owner to keep them safe and happy.
