That’s fairly large for a small animal. I’d say you need a vet and the sooner the better. It could be a insect bite, cyst, infection, tumor, etc..

Our 14 Month Old Male Gerbil Lost Part Of His Tail About A Year Ago…

Our 14 month old male gerbil lost part of his tail about a year ago. This left a small black spot part way up the remaining stump on one side. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that it had got bigger. It doesn’t seem to bother him at all and he not lethargic or unwell. What could it be?

I had a gerbil that got cancer and it started with a black spot on its back and it spread all over. Nothing you can really do about it if it is cancer. When you say it lost part of its tail are you saying you had it removed, or it just fell off? You will have to take it to a vet and they will tell you if it needs to be cut off and biopsy of the black part. It also could be other things besides cancer but only a vet can really help you. It could be an infection and need antibiotics. Please take it to a vet.

He got his tail caught and panicked, and it broke away, they are designed to do that. It’s not an infection, it’s a nice neat, round smooth bump on the side of his tail. I have emailed photos to my vet, waiting to hear whether he wants me to take him down to see him.

A washcloth with warm soapy water should be used to clean the wound. Some diseases are transmitted by mice and could be problematic please contact your vet.

I don’t know, as I do not know where you live or what times they’re normally open. But we cannot tell you if she’s pregnant over the internet. Only your vet can.

How old is this baby rabbit? Does it have its eye opened? If possible make a picture. Cow milk is not a good food for baby rabbits, it can cause bloating and pain for them and can lead to death.
Try to find someone who has experience in wildlife rescue and let them show you how to care for it if you want to raise it yourself. This is really important. It’s always best to learn from someone experienced.

But to get started: get special milk that is used to raise kittens (no ordinary catmilk). It needs to be mixed 1:1 (with lukewarm chamomile or fennel tea). Also give a drop of sab simplex inside, to ease bloating and belly pain.
They need to be fed every 2-4 hours, depending on age (also at night!). With around two weeks they start nibbeling on solid food and with around 4 weeks they can eat the same as an adult rabbit can additionally to their milk. So depending on age you have to offer different herbs, grass, hay and everything that a rabbit would eat in the nature, so that it learns what it can eat. The more it gets to know the better.

Do you massage it’s belly after each feeding time? Does it pee/poop?

If it is older than 6 weeks it doesn’t need milk and more but special food (here it’s called herbi-care-plus). You start feeding this food mixed with milk at around the age of 4 weeks. You have to start very slowly, only a few drops, as they need to adapt to the new food.

If you can’t find womeone to show you, read as much as you can about raising rabbits. It’s not an easy task.
