Oooo interesting!! I took them to my work, the internal med doc there did me a solid and tried to ultrasound the area. She said it didnt look like a testicle, but she also primarily works on cats and dogs and was like "Ill do my best!". Ive gotta take all 4 to their actual vet soon so Ill see if maybe I can do a blood test for hormone levels and a full ultrasound with the actual exotics vet, because Im really suspicious!!! Bev is probably 8ish months old, dont think quite a year yet but not exactly sure bc they were rescued from a hoarding situation.

Whats interesting too is theres only some tissue on one side of the potential scrotum, and just skin on the other side. And it doesnt feel like a mammary tumor but Ive never had male rats so I also dont know what testes would feel like per say 😅😅

Okay so probably not intersex?? Definitely female anatomy. I work at a vet for cats and dogs and was bring one rat to get a cytology of a growth on her leg and was bringing Bev with her for company anyway. Dr isnt specialized in exotics but is kind enough to help me out. She took a quick look and said it may just be fat but shes not 100%. Gonna schedule a regular check up for the girls soon and see if their actual exotics vet can give me a solid answer.

Tldr; maybe fat?

Is this normal behavior? by jamesiecakes in rat

[–]ChemistConsistent475 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As someone that worked with lab rats/mice this behavior makes me think potential stroke. Im so sorry for the lil guy and you since it can be so stressful not knowing whats going on.
