  • Male Hair Rings
    - Author: Scott Barnes - During breeding hair can build up on the penis while it is out of its sheath (foreskin) and then when the penis retracts into its sheath the hair can form hair rings not visible on a normal inspection. The hair actually rolls into rings around the penis when the male gets excited and the penis extends out of the sheath and then retracts when he is no longer excited. This occurs quite a few times during breeding even if the female in a near by cage is in heat.
