Hi All,

Finally after a month waiting, we're allowed to take Dr Watson home tomorrow. We've been prepared everything for his arrival.

He's a Lionhead bunny and should we around 8 months now.
According to the rescue, he's been neutered already. My question is how can you tell whether he's neutered? Is it possible for us to check it?

Also my 2nd question is, should I bring him to vet for health check up since he never have any yet.

Sorry for the long post. He will our first ever bunny, want the best for him.

Thank you

If he is a boy you will be able to check because he will have little shrivelled 'sacks' either side of his genitals. An unneutered boy would geerally have big, clear testicles. You will have to search for the neutered remains of his testicles. You will need to look right in the crease, where the genitals sort of join the rest of the body. Er, does that make any sort of sense at all?

A health check would be a good idea too

Good luck and congratulations! I think we need to see some photos when he arrives

Sky-O's advice is spot on. Here is an article about how to sex boys. You see the large pink testicles on each side? If your boy has been neutered, those will be gone, there will be a slight hollow and perhaps some loose skin. Getting a general health check is a great idea.

I hope you and Dr Watson have many happy years together! (Fantastic name btw!)

Doctor Watson at home now

Hi, he's arrived at home now. It said that let him alone for a day. Can't we stroke while he's adjusting new place? He's been munching the hay (that's good right?)

Want to post photos but internet connection not on until monday, using my phone only for now.

Btw how do we know if he's adjusting well?

Thanks.
