I am really worried cuz like My Cambells Dwarf hamster has this big lump thing on his behind, like he IS a boy and like I no that if he is a boy there should be something there, but like it is kinda big, I think it might just be him, if you no what I mean but like I just want some other opinions, What do you guys think?

The lump is like on his behind and like it isn't hard or anything, it looks like it is suppose to be there and he is a boy, and he is about 3 months old and I have had him since they were babies, and the thing on his behind has gotten bigger as HE got bigger, so that is why I thyink it may be just him.

Testicles.
I'm pretty sure that's what it is, my hamster
had a litter & I gave one to my friend . We were
sure it was a girl & it seemed as if over night they
grew & that was about 3 years ago. He just recently
died - no tumors to be found. My male hamster had
them as well - not as big but he did have them & it's
a bit freaky how big they are but yeah haha .

Is the lump of which you speak a light color, mostly hairless, and sort of oval shaped? Does it drag behind the hamster a bit? If so, these are his testicles. Male hamsters have giant balls for some reason--that's why I got gerbils.

Don't worry! Thats normal! I have had many male hamsters and they all have large rear ends! Its part of their reproductive system!

It could be his tail. But i would take him to the vet just incase.
