How old is Mubby now?

Do you have any recent pics, preferably showing the head in profile?

It's sometimes possible to tell the sex of a rabbit by the head shape, if you know what you're looking for :)

Try holding him on your lap upside down, with his head near your chest, his back along your knees, one arm cradling him under his "arms" and see if he will relax. It is a very good idea to accustom a rabbit to be held this way, as it helps with grooming, any cleaning, nail trimming etc or a veterinary examination if one is ever needed.

And sexing, too.... you will have one hand free to do all the poking and prodding!

Beside the lump with all the furry bits & the tail on it, you should have two bare pink places, one each side. This is normal for both bucks & does, and if you ever probe deeper under the "furry lump" you'll find the scent glands (which sometimes need cleaning!).

In boys, this is where the testicles are... and they are unmistakable, believe me.... like two naked long organs ("peanuts" is a good term Tam! but think of size & shape of a peanut still in its shell).

At certain times of the year boys can withdraw their peanuts into the abdomen, so sometimes they are harder to see, but some loose pink scrotal skin (the empty sacs) should still be there.

A lot depends on his age - the testes take time to drop, my 12 week young Dutch boy still hasn't got his but I could find the scrotal sacs. And in very rare occurences, they never drop!

We'll get to the bottom of this eventually.... excuse the excruciating pun! :lol:
