Answer
There is an article on how to determine gender at http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/articles/sexing.shtml  In rabbits less than 4 months of age, it's hard to tell because
they look the same.

If you are sure they are less than 3 or 4 months of age it's not likely either is pregnant, but a rabbit pregnancy runs 28-31 days.  If you do have a pregnant rabbit, check out the information at http://www.rabbit.org/care/babies.html

The rabbit breed is actually called Netherland Dwarf.
