Has anybody here ever dealt with a testicular tumor on a mouse? I currently have one and it's my very first. It's my best male and he's been with a female for about two weeks and she's very noticeably pregnant so it didn't affect his ability to reproduce...although if I had noticed it two weeks ago I wouldn't have given him a female! He seems fine. There are no vets around who will do neutering on a mouse (they say they're too small), but if he were neutered I wouldn't need him anyway. He'll probably be euthanized soon.

What I wonder is--is testicular cancer as inheritable as breast cancer in females?

Oh. So do they still breed after they've developed the tumor?

Thanks yall. When I've encountered greasy babies like that I generally cull them. I cull most illnesses pretty quickly, so I'm not very useful here, I'm afraid...
