Piggy Private Parts

[Amy Westland]

I'm not really sure how to word this but I have two male guinea pigs and I was wondering at what age should their "balls" be dropped and at what stage I should worry if they are not so I can avoid health problems. I was wondering this as harvey has both and treacle has one and the other one is either I think stuck or making its way down and I don't know wether I should be worried or not about it.

I would see a vet if the testicles have not descended fully by 6 months old, but I don't think that it is a major issue anyway.

Ok treacle is about 10 months old so if nothing changes by Monday when I can get him in the vets I will take him. Thanks
