Two swollen red lumps on a male hamster’s rear are simply its mature reproductive organs during heat, with faster testicular blood flow causing the swelling.
In heat the testicles enlarge like a swollen rear, and scent glands release a smell; the male marks the cage to lure females, while females raise their tails to invite males and mating begins.
