my baby morphious has this spot between his right hind leg and tummy. it is a round area with no hair and something brown and flat in the middle. what in the world could this be?

A nipple? Is there one on the other side?

morphious is a boar. a four month old boar to be exact.

Boars have nipples too. The teats are much smaller. Both sows and boars each have two nipples. (Probably part of the reason so many babies are missexed by inexperienced people.)
