I'm not unfamiliar to hamsters, had quite a few of them but since most were female I wanted to double check that everything is ok with my almost year old Syrian, Jonathan.
I'm well aware that male hamsters have... well, massive balls and Jonathan is no different, However today I notices that they seem to be sticking out a fair bit more than usual.
He is still really active and running about, doesn't seem to be unhappy or unwell and is eating and drinking normally so I think it may just be the heat.
Coming from Scotland usually it is near freezing however the past few days it has been around 23 degrees so I think its most probably just him trying to cool down, but I thought I would double check here.
If anyone has any advice that would be great vet isn't open til tomorrow so any info at all would be great before I take him.
This is what they look like; (poor Jonathan will be very embarrased I am posting pics of his bits on the internet)
Thank you
