Possibly a stupid question...

Okay! Thanks! I knew male rats didn't, so I didn't know if there were other male animals that didn't have nipples. I hadn't noticed them on Jazz till yesterday.

I've only noticed one or two on each side of Jazz, they stick out when he has a full tummy! He hardly ever lets me touch his stomach so that's why I am just now noticing them.
I'm laughing even more. I was guinea pig sitting for a neighbour & horrified that one "developed a sore on his tummy". Plucked up courage, & told my neighbour when she returned. She looked & burst out laughing.
I only noticed Thumper's when his tummy looked like this, but I think they're out of view. I wasn't taking the photo to show his nipples!:lol:

He looks shaved... Pretty bunny though! I'd take a picture of Jazz for you, but I can't hold him and operate a camera at the same time. Plus, he's out in the greenhouse for a bit of grazing time at the moment.

Hahaha, I thought they were skin tags at first. I just hadn't ever thought about it really, they were my first male pets. They only have two on each side, I hope that's normal.
Thank you. That's Thumper my special bridge bunny.
Yes he's been shaved. It was a really hot summer, 30+C in the shade. He was very poorly, & was overheating badly no matter what I did, so he had a special fur cut. That's the 1st. time I realised he had nipples.

Do you have any others? He's a very pretty boy.
