Liquorice is 5months old, unnetured.

I have noticed lately his testicles (are they called that on rabbits?:oops: ) are very 'prominent'.

Is this normal - should they be visable? I though it was hard to determine sex of bunnys? Liquorice is def a boy!!!!

Is he ok? Is there anything wrong?
 
Hihi... don't worry, he's probably allright :)

The difficulty is when they are young, males with split penises and rabbits can pul their testicles up in their body,so when turned around,you can't see them. So don't worry at 5 months it is perfectly normal that you can see them.

It's only hard to sex bunnies before they become sexually mature. What you have described is perfectly normal for an entire male. If a male rabbit is neutered, the testicle sacks shrivel up and disappear but you can still tell the gender after that because they still have an obvious penis, but an unneutered male is rather obvious as you have discovered!
 
:shock: our rescue buns went up and his scrotal sack kept tripping him up..flapping as he moved..made eating cecals impossible almost etc..yup well endowed buns lol
the vet was stuned at the size of his testicles esp as hes a lionhead!!
its been a few weeks now and his sack is still flapping but not as big..they dont do scrotal sack ops due to infections etc so heres hoping he shrivels them up a bit more..
in fact i had a thread here too as id never experienced swinging sacks!:shock: :oops: :lol:
