Red face Big boy bits

When Frodo first woke up last night, I noticed one of the testicles (or at least where one presumes such things are located) was red and swollen. Dashed off to get the camera and book, but had returned to normal appearance within minutes. So urm..... is this just like a 'boy' thing? Sorry - haven't had a boy Hammie for years!

It could be if he is getting a bit warm. I've heard it is quiet common if he is keeping in lots of heat round that area or if he is in a warm room. I would keep an eye on him but it doesn't sound anything to be worried about since is quickly went back to normal x

Did it look like this? When they are warm and cosy their testicles descend sometimes. Then pop back in again

Yes - like that but I think pinker from the under-view! Going to assume it's a pretty normal thing then!

Yes they can look quite pink. You're not the only one. First time I saw it on Charlie I thought he had an anal abscess - then it disappeared again. I also came on here and had it explained to me lol. Sometimes they can look like round shiny pink lumps if descended/sticking out.
