The plains mouse has large seminal vesicles, coagulating glands, and dorsal and ventral prostates, whereas in the hopping mouse the only large accessory sex gland is the ventral prostate. Fructose concentration was found to be high in the coagulating glands and dorsal prostate of the plains mouse, but low in all other glands of both species; low concentrations of glucose were found in all glands. Citric acid concentration was high in the dorsal prostate of the plains mouse and ventral prostate of the hopping mouse. Acid and alkaline phosphatase activities were low in all glands of both species. In castrated hopping mice, enlargement of vestigial glands could not be induced with high doses of exogenous testosterone, although there was increased secretory activity of the seminal vesicle epithelial cells.
平原小鼠有大的精囊、凝固腺以及背侧和腹侧前列腺，而跳鼠中唯一较大的附属性腺是腹侧前列腺。研究发现，平原小鼠的凝固腺和背侧前列腺中果糖浓度较高，但在这两个物种的所有其他腺体中果糖浓度较低；在所有腺体中葡萄糖浓度都较低。平原小鼠的背侧前列腺和跳鼠的腹侧前列腺中柠檬酸浓度较高。这两个物种所有腺体中的酸性和碱性磷酸酶活性都较低。在去势的跳鼠中，高剂量的外源性睾酮并不能诱导残留腺体增大，尽管精囊上皮细胞的分泌活性有所增加。
