Question
QUESTION: I have noticed that my male rabbits testicles are bleeding and just wanted to know if this is normal or i need to take him to the vets

ANSWER: Dear Hailey,

As you probably have guessed, it is certainly NOT normal for testicles to bleed.  Please get him to an experienced rabbit vet immediately:

for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

QUESTION: thank you for getting back to me, they stopped bleeding it looked like he licked them to much or graze them and they are all better now and there is no infection, could he have done this because my doe has a liter?

Answer
Dear Hailey,

I'm glad he's better, but there's really no way to know how this happened without being able to examine him.
