That's what I figured. I just assumed because he's so small and so up there in hamster years, that it probably wouldn't be feasible to have him go into surgery for removal. Tell me what the point of having them tested to see what they are would be if I wouldn't have them removed? I'm not trying to be a smart alec, just wondering. THat's why I was asking if it would just be better to have him put down. I know it's been stated that he may be in pain, even though he still acts completely normal, but, I'd rather just have him home with me so he can just pass in his familiar surroundings when the time is right.
