Pregnancy Possibility ?

22 10:27:24

Question
Hi Lee, one of our rabbits is looking like it is a girl now, not a boy as we were told, and we recently got another friend for him/her and he was just recently desexed ( about 1-2 weeks ago) is there a chance that he may have gotten her pregnant ?
we were told by the pet store that it was a desexed male, and as we saw no obvious balls believed it...
Thanks in advance, you all do a great service to everyone here.  :)

Answer
Hi,

unless the pet store has some setup with a shelter or rabbit rescue group, no pet store I know of sells altered animals.  It just doesn't make money sense.

If he actually was altered, but only 1-2 weeks ago, there is a chance he may have gotten her pregnant.

The fact that there isn't any testicles hanging down may not mean anything, males can pull them into their body at will.
