Hi all! I have noticed a bump on Helmut's back since a while. It doesn't feel wrong and it doesn't hurt him, but I just want to make sure it is normal. He is our first guinea pig so there are things that may be obvious but that we don't know... I attach pictures where you can see the shape of the bump. I thank you all in advance for the input.

Is the bump caused by a defined lump or just a kink in the spine?
 
Hard to say... Sometimes it feels that it is part of the spine, or some kind of joint, sometimes it feels more like a hard lump. But it doesn't hurt him at all and he has no problems running around... I am wondering if I should get it checked by a vet.
