For a while i've been wondering if my adopted pig Marmite is neutered and after a little research I'm really not sure, this is what he looks like down there ...

I agree, definitely not neutered. This is what Archie's bits looked like after he was neutered (photo was taken a couple of weeks after op so still a little swelling there)

They all look different down there ;)

Sometimes the skin of the shaft of the penis can protrude a bit more - it's normal, but it does mean they're more likely to get bits stuck to it (hay, hair etc) while they're going about their normal business (probably including a bit of bum dragging!).

It's important to make sure that it's kept clean, as things can end up getting stuck in there if not checked regularly. This applies to all boar-bits, not just the frilly-willy kind!
