Question
I Bought Two Rabbits from a Pet store 7 Months ago.And now I've noticed that one has Two large sacs. I'm not sure if its a Boy or if it has inflamed anal sacs?How do i check

Answer
Dear Sam,

If the sacs are soft, and covered with a bit of fuzzy fur, then they are probably normal testicles. And if only ONE of the rabbits has them, then you need a good rabbit vet to neuter the boy ASAP, before you have a surprise you don't need:

Please read this, just in case:
