Does this look normal?

[Spaghetti & Noodles]

A friend of mine has sent me this photo of her sister in law's guinea pig. They have two boars who are around a year old and one has always been bigger than the other but this seemed quite big. Never having had a boar I couldn't say so hoping someone here might provide some insight too boar bits!?

It looks normal to me.

Boar bits can vary tremendously in size. I can’t see anything abnormal, but if anything has changed or they are worried about lumps or something then always get a vet to check. Please refer them to our boar guide for examples Boar Care: Bits, Bums & Baths

Thank you, I had already gone back and said if things had changed recently etc go to vets.

even if you have a pair of boars one can have much larger testicles than the other and that can alarm folk who aren’t used to boar bits.

Hi!

The size of the 'treasure chest' of boars with descended testicles varies enormously.
Here is our boar care guide with pictures that illustrate the range (and all the issues that can happen in there and need a regular check) and also our general boar guide:
