I know, I’m not supposed to be here with a HAMSTER. But I’ve failed to get help elsewhere. My hamster, Dobby has MASSIVE “nuggets” and I’m not sure if it’s normal. Also, his wheel. Is his wheel okay? Here’s a vid showing all my concerns:

@hermiwormi : I suggest this forum as an excellent resource on hamster care: (broken link removed) Taught me everything I knew when I had my little Blueberry!

A male hamster's testes will kind of -- for lack of a better description -- "move away" from his body when the environment is too hot, but Dobby looks pretty swollen and maybe a little red. I'd first try double-checking the temperature of his environment, but if it doesn't appear to change with a cooler temperature, I'd take him to an exotic vet.

Your wheel is too small. A hamster's wheel needs to be large enough that the back does not curve when they run.
