I have 2 males and one of them seems to have a swollen Penis ,I have noticed this a couple days ago. I seen him rubbing his self on the tree limb that is in the cage tonight. They are not tame enough to hold them for a long period of time .
Any suggestions ? Is this normal ?

How old are they and could this be a suckling problem?
Either he doing it to himself or sibling doing it to him.
Not unusual with males but could be very dangerous
for / to them and has to be controlled.

Make sure he can still pee. It can be life threatening if not.

If there is a scab on the tip of the penis? it needs to be removed so he can pee and
his bladder does not rupture. Plus he needs some Neosporin on it so it can heal.

The babies are somewhere AROUND 12-14 weeks I'm guessing ....I haven't seen the others bother him ? But they may be when they are in the log at night...Is he peeing ...not sure on that he is with the other 2 . It actually looks smaller today and was just bigger than the other male. He seems fine and full of his self i will put medication on today. Thanks for your help all of you.

Maybe put him on a white sheet. Maybe isolate him for awhile. If he's not peeing, he'll die.

I have great news I just seen him pee and it was a good bit .His penis is some smaller today I did get medication on it ...I think it is fine (no scab)....Maybe just bigger for what ever reason....Maybe the others were trying to nurse ??? They are drinking there formula out of a dish as of yesterday .Which makes me happy :-)

He could be doing it or they could, but it absolutely needs to be stopped. Try giving them supplemental hydration feedings, or even separate them if need be.

What are you suggesting as far as Hydration supplement?

Just water, or water sweetened with a bit of sugar or juice if necessary.
