The average superficial temperature of testes was (38.02 +/- 0.36) degrees C in the experimental group and (36.15 +/- 0.64) degrees C in the control group (P < 0.05).

How warm are male balls?
Temperature regulation
The temperature of the testes is maintained at 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), i.e. two degrees below the body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius (98.6 degrees Fahrenheit). Higher temperatures affect spermatogenesis.
Why are my rabbits balls so big?
If you have a young rabbit who suddenly develops large testicles, this may be because they have fully descended. Like other male mammals, the testicles also increase in size at puberty, reaching their maximum dimensions at sexual maturity (perhaps 6-8 months in bucks).
When do male rabbits balls drop?
The testicles descend sometime between 10 to 14 weeks of age. The first appearance can vary with the individual, the breed, and environmental temperature. The adult rabbit can retract the testes back up into the abdomen through the open inguinal ring when stressed or to regulate testicular temperature.
Does temperature change testicle size?
Cold temperatures, in particular, can cause “shrinkage,” though this has no impact on the size of the testicles themselves. When exposed to cold water or temperatures, the testicles may temporarily retract closer to the body through a mechanism called cremasteric retraction.
