Question
hi.. today i got 5 new born bunnies... i want to know their sex.. how can i know that and be sure i'm right. also i have two 9 weeks rabbits ( 2 months and 2 days old) when can i know their sex. i think one is male and the other is female but I'm not sure. also the one that i think is a female, the father is following her and i think he wants to mate with her or something is that possible? thank you.

Answer
hi-its very hard to sex them unless you are a breeder but at 9 weeks it should be easy turn them over in your hand and blow on the private parts whilst giving a little press -if its a buck its penis will pop out.
at 9 weeks keep them seperated as they can mate and make babies.
