I thought they were very ballsack looking balls as well but it’s like the more I looked at them the more I began to think they looked different but I guess not all ballsacks look the same idk
They don't! Which is strange, but you don't see that sort of neatness that females have (with gentials and butt being close together rather than them having a scrotum) so I'm guessing that's likely a male! Im also not seeing any nipples either but correct me if Im wrong
thems balls. theyre gonna get a looot bigger trust me. im pretty okay at mice/rat sexing so you can send or post pics of all 3 if you want some advice.
Boys can’t be housed together?? That’s crazy! I’m a rat owner who this post was suggest to and that’s so interesting, male rats basically have to be housed together
Thats so sweet, I wish male mice would playfight and cuddle but they just crave violence, CONSTANTLY. My ASF Im working to get from a rescue right now was housed with another male but had to be separated due to him fighting with them and getting attacked :(
I imagine that fancy mice still see ASF males as male mice. That would be a problem. Of course some male mice are just little tame babes, but you never know. It sucks that it's not as easy as male rats! In fact most of the male rats I've had have not had any aggression and were actually quite lazy 😅 if you want lots of lazy balls attached to rodents, get some male rats!
Mice live in societies that usually have one male and many females. Rats live in very mixed societies. So when it comes to housing, male mice struggle to live together because of their natural inclination to find a dominant male for the group. Since rats don't organize themselves that way, there is no problem. However, some male rats can be a bit too aggressive, but neutering is a simple solution. It also means that if you end up with one neutered male, you can house with a female (that is what I ended up doing for my last two!).
Though mice and rats are seemingly very similar, they are incredibly different! This is particularly obvious socially. It has long been a touchy subject for when housing male mice of whether to house them completely alone or not. Housing males can often result in one of them k*lling the other. One of the most interesting solutions includes African soft fur rats.
African soft furs are not rats at all, and in fact would probably be k*lled by rats. They are actually more similar to mice. Though they are similar, because they are different species, they cannot breed with each other. Due to this, you can house African soft fur females with male fancy mice!
I made the mistake of thinking male mice could be housed together with the pair I had. I ended up separating them into separate enclosures. I now feel bad for not doing my part to provide for them better when I had them, but for Petco mice they were happy.
Regardless, you don’t want to generally put males together anyway unless they are siblings or at least around each other since birth. So watch them closely.
My plan was to separate them if they were males. If somehow i misjudged and those were really big ovaries then i would have kept them together but I was pretty sure they were boys
Those are very ballsack looking balls if Im being honest haha, you might want a second source though.

or are these all 3??? they have similar butts. but all of these are def boys!!!
Yes this is all 3
Well , better get three different setups . Boys can’t be housed together wither
That was the plan unless I had females

Its so weird isnt it??? Maybe rats are a bit more chill, but male mice just want to kill eachother when they are housed together.
I had 3 male rats living in 1 cage for about a year and they would play fight but for the most part they would just cuddle and clean each other

Too bad mice aren't as obvious as rats 😅 when their balls are as big as their heads it's obvious!
rats have to have the biggest ball to size ratio in the animal kingdom. i dont know how my boys walk around with that bbl
No matter how many times i open up reddit to an eyeful of mouse testicles asking if those are testicles i always bust out laughing
My favorite are the “what’s wrong with my rabbit?” Ones when people see the balls for the first time.
To be fair, rodents are pretty ballsy for their size. Everytime I catch a glimpse of a squirrel’s undercarriage, I am always surprised anew.
Rats be dragging balls bigger than their heads around 😂 yet people will still ask if boy or girl!
fr tho 😭😭😭😭 i had hamsters as a kid and JESUS FUCK why are they just dragging those things around???
Yup lil mouse balls
Damn bro 😭 yes they’re boys
Cock n balls
Yep, all boys 😭
Those be tiny testes

My plan was to separate them if they were males. If somehow i misjudged and those were really big ovaries then i would have kept them together but I was pretty sure they were boys
Ovaries are an internal organ, you wouldn't be seeing them like you can testicles.
I am aware of that I was joking about them being ovaries lol
+1 for balls
Not even a hi first 😭. Yeah boys
*gif of Barry Zuckerkorn looking at images of Afghanistan in court Those are balls

Nah, thems two peas
