When do testicles appear?

Have searched the forum for info but cant find any so QUESTION PLEASE!

Kami is 4 months old and no sign of testicles - could he be a she? I only ask cos a) want to get him neutered and get him a girlfriend and b) his dad Pip sired him at 4 months! :?

Sorry if this has already been asked! :oops:
 
It is possible they haven't decended. Are there two pale pink hairless patches either side of where his penis should be?

If you are unsure then probably a trip to the vet would be best as they could sex Kami and then tell you whether s/he is mature enough to be done yet.

Thanks Caz - I will take him to the vets - just seemed strange - mind you, he acts like a bloke - messy and prone to throwing his toys around! :roll:
 
hi there my british giant is now 4 months old and has no testicles as yet either, so today when i spoke to the vet he said if they are not therte by six months old he would have to take them out because there is a risk of cancer!
 
Thanks guys - had him sexed at 8 weeks by a vet AND a breeder and they both agreed he was a he! Will give him a couple of weeks to settle back in and then take him for a check.

Bunnylove - hadnt realised the diff between your 2 at first - is all ok now (do you remember I came up with the name suggestion?!)
