You need to be careful with this if you are not 100% sure what you are doing... take a look at this thread (I'm not suggesting this was done by the owner), but shows how easily damage can be done to the area...

If you can post a picture people might be able to advise you better if it is something you can do at home or if a vet trip is needed?

No! They are quite likely the two prongs that are very much attached and very sensitive! Unless you understand the physical structure of the bits and pieces please don't start trying to pull bits off.

If you need help with your pig please use a vet.

are you sure there are bean spouts as boars do have what looks like two little tenticals at the end of their penis?

I normally clean his anus area and check his penis once per month and follow the guinea lynx instructions and have not seen these things before. ill have a look online and try to find pics of a boys 'structure' and see if they are attached? i wont pull anything, id never ever hurt him - just worried that it's going to hurt him?

Lol yeah i agree if id read that post i would have worried someone was going to hurt their pet too! especially after the other post of the boar with the really bad boy bits!

Since he seems fine and unhurt at the moment i think ill leave him till tomorrow. we are going to the vet anyway so the professionals can deal with the penis! x

It is common for boars to have two little spurs/prongs on their penis, on some it's more obvious than others. My boy who has a 'cauliflour' willy has very obvious spurs on his. Id leave them well alone.
