Is there any way for me to tell if a rabbit's been neutered?

I am aquiring some bunnies that were "2 free furry items" with some hutches from ebay. I've been told that they're an unneutered pair - male and female but they've not bred for a year. That seems a little unlikely! Wondering if there's any way that I can tell if they have been neutered. I will first of course check their gender - I could use some tips on that as well :)
 
Well I reckon your first call like you said is to check the sex!! If they are boy and girl you can tell if the boys been neutered by checking if he has testicles or not with girls it's a bit more difficult. Some show no signs at all but some have a small ridge type scar between their legs which you can feel if you run your fingers down their tummy.
 
Hiya, not sure about neutering question but just make sure you quarantine your new rabbits from existing ones. I helped get two ebay rabbits to Kayj's Bunnyhop Rescue a couple of months ago and one had myxi and had to be pts :( The other didn't have it but was thought to be pregnant although was spayed and has now gone to her new home :D

Well done for getting them out of their old home, but just be careful to get them vet checked - you probably know already but I wouldn't have dreamt this rabbit would have had myxi
 
My current rabbits are indoor bunnies and the two new ones are outdoor bunnies but are there any special precautions I should take to protect my boys?
 
have your new rabbits vet checked and vaccinated asap. You should also consider worming them all....certainly the new rabbits incase they are EC carriers.

Check for fleas and mites too.
