Young Bun
I took a new bunny we have to be castrated today only to discover he is a she!!.One of my neighbours didnt want her bunny anymore and was going to have it put to sleep so we took it.She was sure he was a boy and on looking i thought so too!!! :?
 
I have a feeling Mubby is a Girl too soemtimes !Lol i have nothing to base this on!! and ive been told hes male when i bought him! lol but sometimes he does female things! lol :lol: :lol: :lol:
 
Once they reach 14-16 weeks and the bits decend its a bit easier to tell. Switches sexs seems a very common bunny trait though :lol:
 
When they are babies, its hard to tell the sex unless you know what to look for! But easier when they get older as the boys bits drop. Heres a funny story when I got Shadow to prove this point!! :oops:

When I got Bugzee I took her to a couple of breeders to tell me what she was. I was also told its hard to tell the sex for a bunny.

So when I got Shadow (he`s an adult bunny), I took him to the pound to get him sexed. WELLS, as soon as she turned him over :shock: you could see he was a male VERY clearly :!: :oops: Didn`t I feel a fool :!: They for got to say when they are older, you can see a male is a male!!

So when I did have Bugzee and Shadow together it was under a very watchful eye. Needless to say a few times Shadow got to bugzee BUT he was on her head :lol: :!:

But alls is well now and they are a happy couple as hes been fixed.

I bought Poppy as a girl when 'she' was 8 weeks. I checked - so did the staff, and we were sure she was a girl.

When she was about 11 weeks I checked again - still a girl. Then at 14 weeks she was a he!!!!

Now 6 months on - definitley a boy!!!! :lol:

He still does all the 'girly' things that only my girls have done i.e. rubbing chins on objects etc.

When I got my first rabbit, Hoppy he was a she for 6 months until "she" came into contact with a baby doe. Then she was very apparently a he! :oops:
Fortunatly hoppy was already booked in for his op, but had to explain to the vet that she was now a he!! Didn't cost me so much though!
Only then it took ages to get used to saying he/good boy instead of she, lucky he had a unisex name.
 
i think for many sexing bunnys is hard until much older after 3 monmths give there bits a slight push and its clear as day :D
otherwise go buy the bunny from pets at home if its a buck you want by a doe from them and bobs your uncle your have a buck!
they have to be the worst pet shop for getting it right ever!
