Whats this off-white stuff on my rabbit?!

Question
I have recently aqquired two Dutch rabbits, one buck and one doe.  Yesterday, when tending to them, I noticed that the female-the white one- had some off-white mucasy stuff on her fur.  She didn't appear to be in pain at all, and I checked her eyes and ears to see if this was the cause, but there was nothing.  Is this a medical thing, or just urine, or sperm perhaps?  This is my first time with rabbits, so am a bit worried :-s

Answer
Yes, that could be what it is.  It's a bit of a milky grey or milky white color, a bit thick.  And of course wet.  It's possible the male mounted her and she didn't want to be mounted so his aim was all over the place, or he hadn't quite figured out his aim.

If you plan on breeding them, this site

give good info on breeding and pregnancy.

If you're not going to breed them, this would be a good time to separate them before the doe gets pregnant.  Once everyone is fixed, then they can be re-introduced.

Also, the male, if he isn't already, is probably going to start spraying.  And both of them, will get a bit moody or aggressive due to sexual frustration.  This will last until the male is fixed.  If you plan on breeding, it'll just be something you'll have to deal with.
