Question
At what age is it possible to determine the sex of my rabbits?

Answer
Dear Del,

A very experienced person with good eyesight can sex a bunny as early as 4-6 weeks. But unless you are very experienced, you may have to wait for the testicles to descend for a positive I.D.  This happens at the age of 3-4 months in males.

You can find helpful pictures and descriptions for sexing rabbits here:

Hope this helps.
