Not all male mammals have nipples. I believe mice, rats, and horses are examples of mammals where the males do not have nipples. In fact, the platypus is a mammal, but it has pores and no nipples. Why this is, I do not know. I am trying to find out, but the information seems to be hard to come by.
This topic is much debated. Even people who've had personal experience with rabbits - bunny owners, breeders, vets - disagree about whether male rabbits do or don't have nipples.DiscussionYes, male rabbits, like all male mammals, do have nipples.Not even all female mammals have nipples.

They're hard to see, and I'd probably never have known about them, but then one of them became irritated and swollen and we had to see the vet.

Well HELLO! why wouldn't they? Mammals have nipples.
Yes they do, all mammals have them, male and female. However, male dogs usually have immature nipples. Also, depending on the amount of fur, it is possible to not be able to find their nipples.
Of course they do! They are live born mammals!
I think the standard issue number of nipples is 8, but I just noticed my cat Dwight has 10....apparently this is quite rare !!
