Just found this on Oreo. What is it? He's not acting strange or anything so I guess he feels fine. I was just holding him and found it.

Does Oreo live with a male (or is Oreo male?) appears to be boar glue. It is sticky when wet and will go rubbery and then hard as it dries. The best thing to do is get it off with warm water before it dries, or cut it out of the hair when dried.
Is his cage mate a male?
If so, does the white lump feel sticky if it is wet. If it is dry does it feel like a hard lump?
If yes to all these questions by guess would be - boar glue (semen).
Cut it out if his hair while you can. It will set like glue and cutting is the only way you can get it off

Oh god... Brownie.... my boy came on my other boy... I saw them going at it.
Well, at least no one's getting pregnant.
It's already dry. What do I do? How do I cut it out?

It’s very normal and to be expected in boar pairs.
Just cut the stuck clump of hair off with scissors

Hoo boy... just tried to cut it off and.... this isn't gonna work
You can’t get underneath it to cut the hair off? I assume it’s too close to the skin?
In that case all you can do is leave it and wait until it drops out in its own

Boars are just wonderful!
If it is on the skin and you can’t cut it out by cutting the hair underneath it, you could attempt to cut a section of it off if it is not 100% dry to stop the weight of it from pulling on his hair and being uncomfortable.
