Guinea pig penis

[Spikie]

While cleaning our piggies we noticed one boar had a sort of odd lump on his rectum. Thinking he might be bunged up I gave it a (luckily gentle) pull before realising it is his penis...

But I only say that because, well, it must be! I've watched him poo, and said odd lump remains. I tried to gently coax it out by pressing gently around it but he just gets fidgety. I would describe it as looking quite like a mole or wart... Nothing like what the images online make it seem.

I was getting quite worried, but then I looked at his brother and hs looks very similar, so presumably just my eyes!

I'd like to give them a quick bath before we put them back, at least the underside of them. Should I be worried at this weird mole like penis, or is that in fact a normal piggy penis (online images make it look like a normal mammal penis).

I have one piggy with a 'mole like' penis that doesn't protrude without pressing and the other has what you describe as 'normal mammal penis'. Pretty sure they are just different shapes and sizes like humans. Someone with more experience will probably know better than me.

That's certainly reassuring! I think he must, for whatever reason, have... Unsheathed it more than usual, hence my surprise.

He is clearly in no discomfort, so he must just have a strange penis

Male piggies penises vary some are more prominent then others, I have 22 boys so seen a fair few A tip it to press very gently on the stomach just above, it usually pops out a useful tip for cleaning them if there is hair stuck there
