I must be dumber than a box of hammers

[Peanut's Mama]

I feel silly asking this. Peanut is about 4 months old now. All along we've thought (he) was a he. He doesn't have any testicles yet. Does that mean he is a (she)? If not when can I expect him to get them, and what kind of behavior am I in for when he starts getting randy?
Thanks

Sometimes you don't see testicles until the squirrel is 17-18 wks old. But, more importantly, can you post a pic of the important parts so we can tell you for sure? :D Or, if not, describe exactly where you see an organ: on the abdomen where his belly button would be, or down between the legs?

Theres an organ where his belly button would be. So I guess "he" is a he. Thanks

Yes, that would be a he! :D

My little boy doesn't have testicles either, but we are pretty sure he has
down syndrome and that could be the reason. He is going to be two in December, so I am just curious to find out if there is something wrong with your squirrel?:dono

:D well, now I know too. :D

I don't think there is anything wrong with Peanut. How do you find out if he has down syndrome?
