Small spot/bump under chin?

pinktink on January 7th 2011, 8:55 am

I was holding Oscar yesterday and noticed that he has a small bump (almost looked like a spot) under his chin with a tiny hair growing out of it. This worried me as I dont know what it is! He is eating fine and using his wheel and is just as active as ever.

Is this something to worry about or is it normal?

Really hoping its just something and nothing!

Thanks,

Rachel & Oscar.

all hogs have it - its their wart lau

it serves no purpose other than being a feature that they have

i had an absolute panic about this same thing when I first got Ody. Took him to the vet and everything, thinking all sorts. Then I discovered it's absolutely normal and all hogs have it. big smile
