Do you dust calcium w/o D3 every feeding and it would help if you fill out the husbandry form and posted of a picture of the bump.
 
Is the "bump" on or under the skin? Sometimes ribs get broken and they heel with nodules that can be seen and felt below the skin. If you had a photo, it might help. We don't know what we're "looking" at.:D
