We have a male hamster that is balls are very big the last few days any answers??


Answers:
It's balls descended probably. It's normal. They are very large in hamsters.
It sounds as if its testicles have finally descended. It looks really weird but its normal. I have one male hamster that has descended testicles and an other that doesn't. Its the weirdest thing ever but its normal for them. The hardest thing is trying to figure out a way to explain this to my 9, 7, 5 year olds. LOL
This is very normal, I can assure you that you have a normal, healthy hamster.
I have had my male a year (today!) and we had him a month or so before his balls statred to become very prominant and hang out of his body. He does have regular checks at the vet as hamsters can become ill so quickly and I do it as a precaution. The vet said he is incredibly healthy.
His are so big they can drag across the floor of his cage LOL. But they are more noticable if your hamster is warm, relaxed, sleeping or has just woken up.
Some hamsters are smaller in that region. Others, like mine and yours are a little more blessed and have big balls. In the wild ours would be having more success at getting the females pregnant.
Hamsters testicals can weigh up to one third of their body weight, so relax and dont worry any more! x
he is needing a girl friend call 911
