Hihi,
Can rats get noticeable erections? I noticed today that Eddie was 'grooming' between his legs, and afterwards Tim (my boyfriend) noticed that he had an 'erection'. I'm hoping that's all it is. Basically his penis was on the outside (as opposed to covered in fluff) and kind of purpley pink.
I know this is kind of gross but we all love our rats here and I'm making sure this is nothing to worry about.
If it is what I think it is, should I do anything? He seems to be constantly... grooming... himself down there, should I get him neutered? Would this help at all?
Thanks!
