Young unneutered Mini with one dark testicle

Young Bun
Hi all,

I was just giving my youngest Mini Lop his preventative Panacur dose when I checked his glands down below. He has one dark testicle on the right side and one 'normal'/flesh-coloured testicle on the other side. He is a blue self and aged around 7 months. He had not yet been neutered and is completely his normal bouncy self. Is this pigmentation normal?

Thank you in advance for your help!
 
Apologies for photo quality- he has so much soft fur it's almost impossible to capture on camera.

This is the side I am worried about:

This is the other side that seems 'normal' to me as it is not as obvious or dark.

He is my only unneutered boy so I have no other bunny to compare him to and is currently unbonded, so there is no chance of any other-bunny-inflicted wounds.

Sorry about the subject matter but I cannot remember any of my other boys having one dark area there prior to being neutered :?
 
:wave: It looks like the fur is a bit discoloured too?

Are his scent glands maybe needing cleaned?
