Large testicles? :/

[shadowpaws]

Their red, and they look swollen... I think their getting bigger. :\ Maybe their just growing? How often do rats have testicluar problems? :shock:

He's about 4months.

Could you show us a picture....My boys are 8 weeks and theirs are huge and red looking ......

 

[shadowpaws]

i'll try and get pictures of them asap, my camera is as dead as a doornail.

If he's warm then they are often reddish pink and descended. If he's cold they will be a paler pink and they can retract them into their body a bit.

Does he seem uncomfortable or grooming them a lot? If not he's probably just a growing boy Testicular cancer is not common amongst rats and especially a young boy like that.

Thats what i thought, because the small boys are quite warm to the touch. No sneezing, wheezing.. none of that though. But they look... oversized. :\ I'll try and get pics soon.

male ratties are usually very well endowed

Look at how pink/red Goli is at a mere 4.5 weeks old

Love that photo of poor Goli and his upside-down heart! I can hear him saying "MOM! Spare my dignity for once!"

 

[shadowpaws]

:lol: His spots kill me everytime. lol... His are the ones that look a little oversized...

Sparta's don't look as bad.

Awe, little Goli man having his parts shown off. They're as red as that, I'm not sure if it showed up in the pics...

His goolies look normal, so I wouldn't worry Brittni

Now can we see the other side? Poor beggar, what an intro to the forum :lol:

 

[RatsRGods]

I think he looks normal.

He's just extra... manly. :dance:

Maybe just do a daily "boys check" just to watch out for any changes

 

[shadowpaws]

:shock: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Alright, thanks guys. I'll keep an eye out. hahaha... Here are the little sweeties.
