Hello my guinea pig has this. Do you know what is this? Has anyone had the same experience? His mood looks fine! 20230306_002946.webpThank you. x
 
Is this new?
How old is he, and how long have you had him.
Are both the testicles the same size?
Does one feel harder or warm to the touch?

In my limited experience boars often have bald patches on their testicles.

If the rest of his fur looks fine and he is behaving normally then you could keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse or her seems uncomfortable or itchy, in which case he would need to see a vet.

He is 1,5 year old! I have him 1 year and 2 months at home. Both testicles are the same and when you touch them doesnt look different or hard. He doesnt itching it at all! The only thing is that it has no hair on. I saw it 2 days before when i was cleaning his cage and i picked him up to clean him with a wipe i saw a hard sharp thing stuck in his fur next to this testicle. I use sawdust so i thought it happened from friction with that thing. Imagine that i cut it with scissor. I will see these photos that you advice me to see if there is something similar to that
 
I agree that a vet check is the best way to be sure what the problem may be.
Hopefully it’s nothing serious.

The hard, sharp thing that was stuck... Was it a bit like dried glue?
