white grainy texture on scrotum?

Hi there, bun-buds.

I have a male bunny, and he is not yet neutered - please don't start on arguing about the need for neutering, we know, we will sort it out in march, when we can stay at home with him.
So... It might not be a health-issue, I just can't seem to find an explanation to it, anywhere. And maybe some of you know of it. :) so. Our boy has lots of white-ish, sand-like thing on his scrotum, right under his skin. Doesn't seem to be an issue, it's just strange. So....it's like a texture, you can actually feel the little "sand" under the skin, visible too. So... He's not in pain, he's not bothered by it, I just don't know what it is.

any info, pals?

Sorry I haven't got a clue what this could be.

A trip to the vet would be best to have this checked out.:thumb:

That's the "funny" bit...he has regular check-ups, nobody says a word about it, and it's been like this since forever... :p hmmm... I just have no clue what it could be...

Best to be safe than sorry.

On a financial side, better to have this...whatever it is, checked out and treated if need be. Cheaper than something sinister taking a hold, causing distress and racking up a large vet's bill.


Fingers crossed. x

that is true... but you know...vet's have already seen him like this...and it might be a normal state of a bunny's scrotum... I don't know...just trying to understand what it is. I only had a female bun before him, so I don't have comparison.
 
Can you take a pic?
Biscuit is not neutered yet booked in for Feb when I can be off with him and look after him.
And I can't think what you're describing.
A pix could help :wave:
