Question
I know this is an odd subject, but can stil be a serious one! If you can help me that would be great!! Well I have been learning alot of Teddy bear hamsters and even concidered breeding them, but my male has swollen testicals. I know for a fact they are swollen because I have two males and there' testicals look NOTHING alike. I'm not sure if a mineral lick or drops would help, but if you now of anything that might please let me know. I'm very concered for him. he is going on 2 and is getting older. Is his a bad sign? Do you know of any feeds or supplements that might help?

Answer
Hi Kayla,

    Male hamsters testicles very in size, some smaller, some larger than others. No two hamsters testicles are alike.
    If the testicles are very red and swollen, then you may want to take him to the vet. If there is no redness, then there really isn't nothing to worry about.
    If you have anymore questions, please write again.

Thank you for writing!
