Before you try to pull, pluck or cut anything please post a pic. Guinea pigs do have nipples (males and females) and many people mistake them for something being wrong with the pig.

If it is a nipple is it at the bottom of the tummy as unsure as they are male thanks for your help
And also how many nipples do males have

Males and females all have 2 nipples - please see this recent thread for pics so you can be sure of what your piggy has.

Please post a pic quickly as if it is something that need attention or treatment then you are still able to get to the vet before they close.
