In the testicles area usually are less hairs and the size of the testicles can reach a bean size.

I think it's not common that moms die giving birth, but unexperienced breeders can suffer the loss of the pups (by the mum culling them, or for other reasons)
Thanks for the tip! I will definitely try to check soon, depending on how calm he is about being handled. Still letting him settle in for now and the little furball is faaast asleep.
