I just noticed this big tumor like bump on my female rat yesterday, and I'm wondering what it could be. Thanks

This large lump may be a tumor , an abscess or a hernia. Mammary gland tumors are quite common in rats. I would recommend a hands on exam at your veterinarian to determine if it is a tumor or a hernia or an abscess and then to discuss treatment options
