My rat seems to have er... retracted his balls, and it's been like that for a couple of days. Should I be worried or is this just a normal thing?

How old is your rat?  That's a characteristic that rats have -- they can retract their testicles when they're scared.

My guys also suck 'em up if it's cold.

He is 2 years old. I doubt he's cold or scared, they're retracted even when he doesn't show signs of fear or being cold.

Well if they stay that way and aren't coming back down again, you could always take him to the vet and see what they suggest may be the problem.
