Imp has swollen nipples?

[niapet]

Hey everyone,

Imp has something strange going on. It looks like his nipples are swelling or something. At first we though he might have a couple bot flies but they are perfectly symmetrical and it looks like two matching pairs of four on each side. The top ones look like they might be a little swollen. I might have thought he was lactating if he were a female!


Note: I first noticed the top one about a month ago but it looks like they are nipples.. however it seems as if they might be loosing hair or swelling...

I just want to bump this... You are CERTAIN he is a boy, right? How old is he?

Is hermaphroditism seen in squirrels?

Does Imp have all of his . . .er. . .male equipment?

LOL yes Imp has all of his stuff... rather large for his size too.. maybe that's normal for squirrels? Anyway what you all are thinking was my first thought too, I thought maybe I had a hermaphrodite squirrel on my hands!

Anyway is this something I should be concerned about?

I rather think this is normal.
Hormonal change is not limited to the girls.
Watch, you'll see what I mean.:rotfl
