If your rat is nesting and starting to get nipples, she may be pregnant, but it is possible that she is having a 'phantom pregnancy' where a rat show the signs of being pregnant but doesn't give birth to offspring.

Do cats have nipples?

Yes, all mammals have teats all the time. Just like humans have breasts (which is what we call human teats) even when they aren't pregnant or nursing. Males have them too, but they remain undeveloped. When a cat (or human) is pregnant or nursing, the tissue that produces milk will be active and swollen making the teats (or breasts) protrude more and they will be temporarily larger.


What does it mean if a dog's nipples are enlarged?

If the dog is an intact female, who was recently "in heat" and had the opportunity to mate, she may be pregnant. If she hasn't been in heat recently, or didn't have the opportunity to mate, she may be going through a false pregnancy. If the dog is a spayed female, or a male, the enlarged nipples can be a sign of disease, so a trip to the Vet is in order.


How do i tell if my long haired teddy bear hamster is pregnant?

You can usually tell if your hamster has produced a bulge. IF you think your hamster has only been pregnant a few days, you may notice her acting differently like collecting up alot of bedding or food. Hamsters have a gestation period of approximately 16 days.


Do boy guinea pigs have nipples?

No boys don't, only females do cause female Guinea Pigs feed milk to their young ***Answer 2*** Like human males, yes Guinea Pig males also have nipples. But the nipples are totally useless. I know this because I've had male and female guineas. Its the same with pigs, dogs, goats. People often think my piglet is a girl, but he has his 'parts' Same with my cute goat kid. Dont think male horses have nipples though


You recently put your male and female rabbits together but your male started collecting hay and building a nest what does that mean could she already be pregnant because they had been together before?

The male is not the one who builds the nest, that would be the female. So it would be worth making sure your rabbits Genders are as you think they are. If they have already been together and you have seen them mate then it is very possible she is already pregnant. Also bare in mind that mating a female rabbit after she is already pregnant can cause problems for the mother as rabbits have 2 uterine horns and the fertilization of the 2nd one will cause a hormonal imbalance killing all of the kits.

Are nipples supposed to be inwards?

It's not completely uncommon for nipples to be facing inwards, but if they cause you any pain, or anything comes out when you gently squeeze them, I'd suggest seeing a doctor. The only exception to this is if you are pregnant, and what comes out is breast milk. If your nipples facing inwards is bothering you, you can gently squeeze around them with your (clean) thumb and index finger. But if they don't pop out when you squeeze gently like that, then don't force it.
