Brian was having boy time yesterday and seems to have got a bit carried away and hurt himself. He let out such a pitiful squeak when it happened and promptly stopped. There doesn't appear to be any marks or prolapse or anything, which is good. Do we need to keep an eye on this or is it just one of those things? Will he learn from his mistake or is it likely to happen again?

I would keep an eye on it, check for prolapse or redness. I would think a little scratch will sort itself out.

Awwwwwwww. Could be a mild penile "fracture"? If so, not much can be done.....

Oh dear, I just never imagined these types of things happening with degus or anything. Hope he gets better soon but still really really glad I don't have boys!

One of our early boys had some trouble with his penis initially. It took him longer to take up the cleaning practice than his two cage mates, but when he did, it had a distinct kink in it about mid length, and it bent back down limply. For the better part of a week he worked on getting it to stand up straight and it just wouldn't. He did a lot of crying and looking sad. Then I saw nothing of it for a while, until a couple of months later, there he was, cleaning himself with a completely erect penis. He was VERY pleased, if the warbling was any indication, and took very good care of it over the next few weeks.
All that to say, if Brian has an injury, it should recover if let be, so long as it doesn't prolapse or begin to weep or become reddened.
