Re: Question about Male Mice
Can't really tell, we got the male at the local pet shop.
Re: Question about Male Mice
He may be young still, as long as he's getting the job done :)
Re: Question about Male Mice
He may be a younger male, scared or cold. They can retract their testicles depending on temperature or if they are scared. I have not personally seen any correlation to testicle size and fertility in rodents (or humans :))
Re: Question about Male Mice
We have had problems with our males before, but we found that if we got a young male we would properly feed him and and let him grow to adult size than let him mate with the adult females and that worked alto better than the younger ones that really never did much and didn't do there job. We have a very nice big stud now that does his job everytime. I don't think it much about the testicles but more about the health and the size of the mouse to make sure that he is able to breed. good luck with you cycles. ;)
