Daft Question But Do Does Have Anything Where Bucks Plums Are?

sonnet

Alpha Buck
I'm sooooooo embarassed to ask as I'm probably going mad :oops: but do does have anything in the area where bucks have their plums (sorry didn't know if I could use the t word!)?
I ask because at the beginning of last week the vet didn't know if Dylan was actually a girl rather than a boy (he was 13 weeks old yesterday).

However yesterday I tried looking again for myself (which is difficult as he's a right wriggle bum & very fluffy down there) & still couldn't tell 100% from the actual bits, however I thought I could see early plums!
One side is like a small plum & pink, the other side is pink & looks like a half filled plum with a bit of sac. Am I going mad or do these sound like plums ie he's definately a male, or have I missed something in my bunny knowledge & it's something does have that I've never discovered before!? :oops::)
 
it sounds a little like you might have a boy :D:D when they are about to drop you can feel them under the surface and the skin is pink, with very little fur and might be a bit wrinkled. You could post some photos here for people to confirm.
 
Well I've just had another look & I'm sure I can feel one under the skin but they resemble empty pink sacs today!
It's difficult to photograph as he's so fluffy down there but i will recheck in a week to see if there is any difference otherwise he'll get a complex about me keep looking at his bits!!
Does don't have small sac-like bits either side of their genitals do they?
 
they can retract at will...if he isn't with any other bunny & it doesn't matter that much I wouldn't worry about it & wait till he goes for his VHD and get the vet to check for certain.
 
Males and females do have scent glands there, but I would keep a close eye out for plums appearing over the next few days
 
Yes must try to stop checking the poor little mite :oops::oops::oops:
Will have to leave it to mother nature for the moment & hope that I'm not imagining plums! :lol:
