Last night my b/f and I were at the local Meijer's. For those who don't know, it's a grocery/department store. They do sell hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, some birds, and fish. I would never buy any, but we were cruising through the aisle where they were and I stopped to point out how all the hamsters were in a big pile, some squashed up against the sides of the glass tanks they were in. "Geez, how could that be comfortable?" Then two of them that were squished started moving to get to the top of the pile when I notice "something" strange in the place where *I think* their genitals would be. It was about the size of a pinky finger to the first knuckle joint, about 1/2 inch long and as fat as a pinky, not really hanging there, but protruding. I said to my b/f, "is that its testicles?" and he thought they were because it didn't look like a penis. I thought it was some sort of tumor because it didn't really look like testicles either. However, I've never owned or seen a rodent like it up close from *that* end, so I wasn't sure. We quickly moved away from the area.
So does anybody know if that's normal? (sorry, no camera to take a pic) I seldom get grossed out by anything, but I was very grossed out by it.
