Hello! I’ve recently found this in my boys cage, and it’s actually the second time.
I thought it may be coming from his bladder. Any thoughts? 1F1CCDE6-884F-403B-A30F-C20BA4EB5D72.webp

Hi!

What consistency is it?
It looks like potential hardened boar glue or sperm rod (both dried semen fluid) to me.
If it is more rubbery in nature; then please see a vet.

Here is a list of typical boar issues to be aware of and how to best deal with them: Boar Care: Bits, Bums & Baths
 
Any health concerns and you should see a vet.

However, there is a chance (not easy to entirely tell from a photo) but it might be a piece of boar glue or sperm rod?
 
It did come from my two boars cage,
It was rubbery once I first picked it up but became hardened over a few seconds
We have a vet appointment on Tuesday, that’s the only time a piggy vet will be available, and I was planning on bringing it with me.

It sounds rather like dried semen fluid to me, but it won't hurt to have your boar bits checked out. We can't do a hands-on examination for you after all!
