As with humans other male mammals have nipples, male mammals just don't tend to have what I'd (as a non-vet) often consider breasts except when there are some forms of hormonal problems, certain drug exposures in formative times, or sometimes if obesity causes a slightly similar appearance to breasts. Ferrets are the same in that both genders have nipples -- same as human males do.
