I was putting Nelson away after being in the run, and I noticed that he's got one, maybe two, lumps around his chest area. I can't feel them when he's not tensing his muscles.

Do guinea pigs get hernias, at all? He doesn't seem to be in any pain, but these lumps concern me. I think I will have to get him checked by the vet.

Any thoughts in advance as what is the most likely cause? I've been reading the guinealynx page on lumps but I'm really not sure what it is.
