I just neutered my two five month old hairless boys. It's been slightly less than three weeks. I went to play with them today, and all of a sudden they feel differently.
Their skin is softer and more velvety. It's pinker with the absence of buck grease and they have lost all the peach fuzz from their bodies. Also, their muscle tone seems less firm.
They also don't stink anymore. When I first got them at 5 weeks, they had a sharp almost horse manure smell to them. With a diet change this improved some, but they were always stronger smelling than the furry rats. They always smelled of rat litter box when I'd pick them up. Now, they smell rather pleasant. A vague 'animal' smell without the reek.
Not to mention the marked improvement in sweetness of personality.
Holy rat poop Batman. If I knew a neuter would make this much of a difference, I'd have gotten them neutered at the first opportunity.
