Help please, boy bits & scent gland

minty

Young Bun
Had a look at Minty's bits today, to see if his balls have dropped, I presume they have, there are two pink kidney bean shaped things either side of his winky.:roll: Is this it?

Where will I find his scent gland? I can smell it but I can't see it! I asked hubby to have a look and he thought I'd been eating garlic :lol:
 
Sounds like his plums are ripe for picking!

.......I mean Minty's not your hubby's....:oops: :oops:

The scent glands are sort of either side of the willy (or vulva in a Doe) Often there is a brown waxy secretion that can be seen in the crevices.

Boy I am glad Jane elaborated on that one, but yes that sounds normal.
I recently had a mature male castrated (5 years old) and he really smelt :shock: , he is feeling much better after his op and he smells better too :D
 
Thanks guys :D

So can you actually see the scent gland or is it more just a flat area? Sorry for all the questions.

You can see the gland, sort of through the skin, if you look closely but it is often covered by the brown waxy secretion
