Where exactly on the feet, u mean the bottom(soles)? or where

If its on the soles, I think its fine, from my previous experience , all large hammies I had(I cant remember the dwarfs much), they all had bumps on their feet, I think it helps them grip to surface or something, the bumps should be the same color as the leg(pink), & they should not be inflamed & cause discomfort, does the hamster walk weird? Act different? Sometimes they get inflamed if your hammy ran on a metal bars wheel too much, take away the wheel, wait few days until feet heal & switch the wheel to all metal(no spaces) or plastic(like habitrail)...


hope i helped

The bubbles are about a cm. long and not even half a cm. wide. She's walking and acting normal just won't let me touch her feet.
