I don't buy into the 'accidental' litter thing at all. It doesn't require a biology degree to know that 2 unneutered animals of the opposite sex WILL breed.
All animals bought from pet shops OR rescued should be taken to a vet for a full health check when you get them home - part of the health check includes confirming the sex of the animal for registering purposes. It's called being a responsible owner.People who say 'he/she escaped' OR 'I didn't know they were different sexes' make me cross.
He/she wouldn't escape if they were in a properly secured environment.
Don't rely on a pet shop to sex them for you - if you can't sex them yourself, get a bunny savvy vet to do it for you. If you're not prepared to do that then don't have them at all!! :evil:
People who think that letting a doe remain unspayed is a good idea should google Pyometra, closely followed by Uterine Cancer.
I took a guinea pig to the vet to be sexed. Vet said guinea pig was a girl. I wanted Squeek to have a friend so I went and got 2 more girl pigs. Squeek wasn't a girl after all, and 3 guinea pigs turned into 10 guinea pigs:shock:
