Growth on new born rat pup.

Hi everybody I'm new here, but I encountered a little problem with one of my feeder rats. I'm curious about a growth that I found on one if my rat pups. What is it? Is it disease? Do I need to replace that colony the pup came from? Will it hurt my BP if I feed it? Thanks everyone in advance like I said I'm new to the forum. I posted a pic. I will also try to get a few more later just in case it's needed.

Hm. Its fine to feed off.
Might be an abscess. Is it hard or squishy?
You don't have to replace the colony. But watch to see if the parents produce more offspring that have the same issue. If yes, cull them.
But it looks like an isolated case with this particular individual.

It's more hard then anything, and thank you very much.
