Question
i hve 2 rabbits angel and cinnamon nd i dont know wich is
which ( boy or girl ) do u know how to tell the difference

Answer
Hi James, Angel and Cinnamon,

This is pretty easy at their ages--as I remember, they're 1 1/2 yrs and 8 months, right? Flip them on their backs, the boys should have noticeable testicles.

If you don't see testicles, push down on the genitalia by putting your thumb just behind the anus and index just to the front of the genitalia. Then push down. If a penis pops out, it's a boy. If another protrusion that looks like a line, then it's a girl. Push with medium pressure, and check a couple of times. Sometimes the boys' peni don't emerge like they should# You can see various pictures at http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&biw=1023&bih=832&tbs=isch%3A1&s...

(If the website doesn't work, it's because spell check keeps changing the website address above. I got it by going to google pictures and searching for "sexing a rabbit")

Good luck!!!!!!!
