So I think my hamster has cancer Anonymous
I noticed a tumor under the left front leg. We live int he same house and eat the same food (she eats my leftover pizza crusts) So I'm wondering what environemental factor could have lead to this.

Anyone else seen hamster cancer?

My hamster died of a tumor. It had it on the same area as your hamster. It gets very huge gradually. At the end of its life, my hamster could barely move his body; the tumor pretty much engulfed him.

I suggest you take her to a vet while you can.

MSG causes cancer in rats, so maybe it does in hammies, too.

Rodents are prone to cancer, so the mere mere fact she's a hamster could be it. You can get it taken care of if you take her to a vet that sees small animals and have the tumor removed.
