If your hamster has cancer or a sickness it will usually sleep most of the night when it should be awake. It might stop eating as much as it used too and would not look very good. My first hamster got very sick and i think it might have been some sort of cancer. To prevent sickness make sure you feed your hammy lots of fruits and veggies. Take them out to play every night and never interrupt its sleep or bother it when it is grooming. Clean your hammy's cage once or twice a week (depending on how many you have.) Give it fresh water once, twice or three times a week.
It dies
Edit: If your hamster has a tumor there would be a lump on its stomach. But if it has a tumor, it probably wouldn't live.
take it to a vet
No, you shouldn't worry because a tumor can't be spread like a sickness. (Sorry about the hamster)
it looks a bit like this
Nothing is made in a mothers stomach. Do you mean womb? A baby hamster is made in the mother hamsters womb, and then born. This proccess is the same with all mammals (apart from duckbilled platypus) including humans.
Hamsters actually CAN explode....but due to a tumor. If a hamster has a tumor that goes undetected/untreated it may get so large that it cannot be contained in the hamsters body, and therefore explodes leaving the poor hammy dead. :(
This animal will eat any store bought hamster food.
I'm sorry to say that my hamster had an enlarged stomach and smelt lot, also he had diarrhoea, it turned out that he had a large tumor in his stomach. You could tell he wasn't eating just hiding food because he was so thin on top.
What is a spindle cell tumor in the stomach?
No, you shouldn't worry because a tumor can't be spread like a sickness. (Sorry about the hamster)
Take it to the hospital if i were you. If you did that than hope he/she lives. Sorry bout your hamster
you should definitely take her to the vet. If she has a hole in her stomach it could possibly be a tumour. Take her to the vet really quickly. Better safe than sorry.
If she begins to breathe heavily and has a big stomach, eats alot and runs on the wheel also!
it wqill have a lump on its butt
it looks a bit like this
She ate herself
I would not attemp to remove the tumor myself (one of my hamsters had a tumor) but to take it to a vet to have it surgically removed if they think necessary.
you should ask your local vet about that...
hamster tumors are just the same as a humans. When you start to feel small or large bumps on a hamster you will know that its a sign and you should immediately take your hamster to the vet, and they will see what they can do, or if your hamster is in pain, they can put your hamster to sleep humanely.
