Difference in the Genitals of a Neutered Buck and a Doe

[tonibun]

Can anyone help. I've looked on line for photos but still not sure. TIA

Buck has a circular hole at the end of the prepuce
Doe has a slit

Gap between vagina and anus of a Doe is shorter than gap between penis and anus of a Buck

ETA, a Buck with a split penis ( genetic problem) the his penis will look like a vagina so that can make things more complicated.

Good luck - it's not easy. My latest bunny was literally picked up from a field - obviously a dumped pet and the most handleable rabbit I've ever come across. Was advertised as a girl - they had never kept a rabbit before, but had done a good job for a year. Definitely wasn't an entire male (at around 2 - 3years old, that should have been obvious). Vet thinks it's a neutered boy, so Betty is now Bertie. There's no clue from my other rabbits, either - 2 hate him/her and hopefully B will bond with my other boy, as that was the original plan.

I had a look on Cottontails yesterday and there is good advice and photos but I'm still not sure. :roll:

Can you post some images of his/her bits on here ?

I am afraid not. My phone doesn''t take photos and I can''t figure out my camera. He/she has been living with an entire Buck in the previous home and hasn't got pregnant but I have separated them and he is booked in for castration. He was mounting the other Rabbit yesterday but didn't mate with her/him. The previous owners had named the Buck Ruby!

We checked again yesterday and I am pretty sure it's a Doe, but why hasn't she got pregnant (I hope). Won't be sure for another 3 weeks. He is booked in for castration on the 21st December, the first date available. The Vets are extremely busy as one of the practices has closed down.

How old is she ?

How old is she ?

The previous owner said she is around 2-2.5. She acts more like a female but is she spayed?

Her/ His gender really should be very obvious at that age :?

In regards to unfixed bunnies, in my experience does seem to be gentle where as bucks can be aggressive once there past 3 months old but can be trained. Once they mature you can easily identify who is male and female.
