Good afternoon all! No photos yet so carry on with lunch..!

My boy Gibson has funny looking bits.. It looks a bit like a cauliflower, it kind of always has but while checking him last night I noticed it seemed far more pronounced. He wees fine, eats and drinks well, and doesn't seem in pain/doesn't mind it being touched (though it's not his favourite thing of course!).

Is this Ok, or should I get him checked? It's not red/sore/itchy/smelly or discharging..

Thank you!
 
'Cauliflower willie' is something that can occur in boars and even the odd sow (I've had it in sows). The link above that has been suggested is very good info. Pictures would be great so we can see what you are referring to though :)
 
My Mowgli has one...but then again, he's just a weird fish anyway which not unsurprising considering the life he had before he was rescued then the lovely people of the forum (you know who you are, took care of him before he found his forever home with my girls).
 
I will try and get a photo this evening when I get home.. Poor lad, he's going to get a complex!
 
I’ve had a guinea with this before (a boar), I put it down to him being a little bit overweight he was 1,450kg at his heaviest and also suffered with compaction which we helped him out with 2-3 times a week. That advice is very good on the link, just make sure it doesn’t get sore or infected.
