I found yesterday on Minimus, two small marble sized tumors. He doesn't seem to be in any pain.
Is there anything I can do?

Oh my! I'm no expert on hamsters, but those sound very large. A buddy of mine at work just had three tumors excised from his senior female rat: there is a vet that specializes in rodents near here. How are your vets on rodent work there?
Good luck!

Gosh, Kimmy, I have no idea. You might check around and contact a small animal veterinarian in your area. I never have used one, but I'm looking for one right now, just in case the birds need to go. Marble sized tumors on a little hamster sound "huge". I hope you can get some answers.
Logan
He's a dwarf hamster and I'm not sure if they could use anesthic on something that small.
A few of the vets around Lansing that I looked up say small animal, but talk about ferrets and bunnies.
I guess I could call them tomorrow from work. It can't hurt. Wasn't sure if any of the other hamster owners out there have gone thru the same situation...

I don't know exactly where in Michigan Eaton Rapids is, but I know there is a good "pocket pet" vet in Bowling Green, Ohio. (About 1 1/2 hrs. south of Detroit). My friend takes her guinea pigs to him. Maybe if you aren't able to find a vet up there, he could recommened one closer to you then he is? I will get his number at work tomorrow, just in case.
Thanks Cincy's mom. I'm about 2 hours from Detroit. About 5 hours from Columbus, OH.
