Default Re: Testicle stretching the skin

I've had boys that do that especially when it is warm. The testicles are quite mobile and it isn't moving out the scrotum there so it looks fine. What a worry they cause us. I'm sure he won't mind you posting his manly particles

i haven't told him they've gone all over, on here, to the vets and to his breeder. but to be honest he's such an exhabitionist that he probably wouldn't mind. He's always running about scent marking everything, constantly rubbing against everything and running about flaunting his testicles in the air - the entire house, my boyfriend, my legs, arms, torso and face have all been scent marked (thankfully with the side scent glands not pee) as his - i think he's most upset i keep washing so i have to be reannointed, it's most inconsiderate of me! he does more running around scent marking than actual running i sware :P

It was just always that one doing it that worried me, and there was me thinking boys would be less worrying! (my last two were girls - i took one to the vet thinking pyometra turned out to be muscle loss due to age causing a funny body shape) I think maybe i worry too much :P

I was very impressed, the vets did all this remotely over the phone and pictures via email, so no bother to storm at all (bar posing for photos). they were very helpful and it didn't cost me anything. when i said should i come in with him they said no we'll get the vet and nurse to look at the pictures first. it's very reassuring to know that they obviously care about the animals first not just bring them in and let us have your money type.

LOL. You live and you learn. I've had more boy than girl hammies so this is familar to me. Like Souffle says, you'll see it more often when hammy is warm. I've seen it with one or the other and with both popped out. I really like your vet. Doing it through the photos like that was helpful to you and Storm... and less costly. That's a vet whose primary focus is the animal, not the money! Storm should only know that your concern and the posting of his manly self will quite likely ease someone else's concerns about their boy hammy .
