This is Harriet ...or Harry ...:?:?:?

Harriet is a rather special bunny as she / he is a hermaphrodite (hope ive spelt it right . ...)
When sent for spaying it was found she had no womb . She has no penis but has what is thought to be retained testicles :shock:

her partener certainly thinks shes a girl :rolleyes::oops:...
He is called Tom and all his bits were right where they should be ;) Tom has been neutered .

They are both shy but lovely bunnies ....both very very tidy in their hutch ;)

They are GORGEOUS bunnies!!!!!:D

Totally off topic I suppose, but I used to have a goat who was a hermaphrodite. He/she was a LOVELY little creature.:D :D

[heidilovescows]

Once again, uber cute!! The he/she thing makes them extra special!! :D

Hope they find a forever home soon

Were the testicles removed? If not, will they present a problem in the future (I know it's often recommended in normal male animals that retained testicles are 'sorted' sooner rather than later)?

They r soooo cute :D

I have just found out today that my bunny Daisy is actually a boy - so I kind of know where u r coming from!

vet didnt seem to think they would cause problems ...not properly formed by the sound of it .

Ah OK, I just vaguely remember hearing that retained testicles have a (high?) chance of becoming cancerous - guess it's different if they're not developed properly

[bunnymadhouse]

:shock: ohhh ...ill check up on that :shock:

ok ...have looked into this further ....

vet tried to remove testicles after finding no uterus .....but Harriet was bleeding a lot and they couldnt get to them ...definatly small and not fully formed . In the end vet was worried about blood loss and had to close Harriet back up .

doesnt think they will cause problems but of course cant be sure....but too dangerous to carry on with op .
