Default Re: Hamster penis?

I’ve come across this a couple of times and it seems to happen more with older boys. Sometimes this can be a sign of an underlying issue but sometimes it can just happen.

As a hamster’s penis is meant to remain retracted the majority of the time, they can become sore if left out for a period of time but it is sometimes possible to ease it back in with the aid of a bit of lubricant. I’ve always used vaseline and it’s done the job ok but if his penis remains out or keeps popping out then it may be best to get him checked out by a vet to make sure that there’s no underlying issue causing it.
