unknown mass on rabbits testicle

Question
I have a 5 month old California rabbit that I plan on breeding but I noticed that he has a brown enlongated mass that resembles rabbit feces on his testicle. I wet it with a rag to clean the the area to try and remove it thinking it was a piece of feces that had stuck to his fur but this is attached to his testicle and started bleeding slightly when I tried to remove it. I applied some peroxide to the area that started bleeding but this mass is still attached and I am concerned about what this might be and whether it is something that might be contagious if I do breed him. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Jennifer,

I'm honestly not sure what that is. Best to take him to a vet and have that checked out. If it bleeds, then it's connected to nerves and blood vessels and, if it's something serious, will require medical attention to remove.

I'm sorry I can't be of more help to you here, but I wish you the best in determining course of care.
