My male Chinese dwarf has a rather large bump on his bum and I've researched and found it is his THINGS, but they are really big! It doesn't bother him so I'm not that worried but it is big! What should I do?

how long has it been there?

[Pokeyyy]

LOL if it is his testicles then yes they are huge on chinese hamsters and he is fine

[Minty ♥]

some males have bigger bits than others
Does he have any cuts around there, or is he showing any signs of constipation?

Chinese hamsters, in my personal experience, have always had bigger "bits" then males of other species. It's most likely just his testicles, where exactly is this "bump" located? If he has diarrhoea, then a "bump" around his rear end can also mean he could possibly have wet tail.

Chinese hamsters tend to have bigger testicles than other hamsters. It probably shows more than the other male hamster species' bits because of how long and skinny chinese hamsters are.. If there is a smaller bump than it may be constipation.

In the area you described, it sounds likes it's around its genital area, and if it looks like this:

 

then there is no need to worry because they are the testicles, which are rather large in the Chinese species.

 

If you note otherwise, please do post pictures.
