Before about six weeks of age, a male cat's testicles have not descended and it can be difficult to tell whether you're looking at a male or s female. At six to ten weeks, testicles should be visible on the male.With kittens, this method can be used to identify the gender:First, lift the tail. You'll see two openings on both male and female. The upper opening on both is the anus. For the female, the lower opening is the vagina and appears as a vertical slit, placed very close to the anus. For the male, the lower opening hides the penis and is rounder, located roughly a half inch below the anus.
Yes, the male ferret or Hob's breeding season is in the early spring and summer when the testicles enlarge and descend into the scrotum, the rest of the year the testicles are out of sight. If a hob is trying to breed and the testicles have not descended, the sperm will be infertile.
Anorchism is a condition where the genetic male newborn will be missing one or both testicles. Cryptorchism is where the testicles are present, but have not descended from the abdominal cavity.An = noorch = testicle-ism = condition of
All male dogs have two testicles. In some dogs however, only one testicle forms and at times there are two but only one has descended into the scrotum. To be sure what is going on with a male dog which appears to have only one testicle, have it checked by a veterinarian.
If male ferret goes into heat, his testicles will appear. If he is fixed you will never see testicles
Yes. But reproduction can happen even it only one has descended into the scrotum after birth. They are both used if a male has had them both descended into the scrotum, but only one is required for reproduction.
I do not know the answer to this for sure, however, I recently took our 7 week old male pot belly pig to be neutered, and the vet cut where the testicles should be...and found none. She then cut higher and again found none what-so-ever. She stated that he was either born without both testicles (rare - less than 1% born without both testicles), or that they are in his abdomen. She then advised to keep an eye on him for another month and see if any testicles descend or if he becomes aggressive and gets that musky male odor that intact boars get. If so, we are to take him back and if no testicles have descended, then she will have to open his abdomen and look around in there to see if that is where they are. If she does not find the testicles there, then it will mean that he was born without both testicles. I would love to have a clear answer from someone "in the know" on this however. Thanks
A male horse with its testicles in tact is called a stallion, a male horse without them is called a gelding.
It is very unlikely for a male to be able to impregnate a female before his testicles have fully descended and he is producing mature sperm. Typically, testicles descend well before a male becomes sexually mature and is capable of reproduction.
You cannot "grow" testicles. But if you are male you should have testicles and they will develop as you grow.
Without getting too graphic, when inspecting the genitals of kittens, you will see eithertwo obvious holes on females, anus above cloaca, orone obvious hole and a small lump, anus above penis/testicles
No, female cats do not have testicles. Testicles are male reproductive organs that produce sperm, while female cats have ovaries which produce eggs.
