Help gendering baby rabbits?

[Bcwildex]

Hi! First time posting here and in need of help. My kits are 7 weeks old at the minute but I am struggling to determine their ***. They’re mini lop x lionhead mix so they’re v small.

Here is a link to images of their parts:

I’ve also attached the pics to this post —each pic has their names so if you could help me determine each rabbits gender that would be amazing.

Thanks in advance— any help is appreciated!

I’m not nearly as good as quite a few people on here, but here are my opinions.

Monty= Male
Yeezy= Male? (you need to squeeze harder)
Rue=Can’t tell (no good pictures and you need to squeeze harder)
Otis= Can’t tell (no good pictures and you need to squeeze harder)

Yes sorry I’ve since realised that the pictures aren’t good! I was advised to take short videos and I have done so here:



Thanks so much for your help!

I believe they are all males.

I believe they are all males.

I suspected this was the case as I thought they all looked very similar. I think I was struggling so much because there was no distinction & realistically I should be able to *** them by now as they’re 8 weeks old next week.

thanks

Happy to help! I hope you find great homes for all of them (or have a easy time keeping them if you are)! If you plan on selling them a “required” interview before the sale helps keep away anyone who hasn’t done their research.

Thankfully I’ve got a great home sorted for a lady whose taking 3 and I have decided to keep 1 to stay with mum and dad. I was extra cautious regarding rehoming with Easter so close!

Hi! Don’t know how accurate this method is but I used this on my 7 week old bun and for me, I saw two flat little sacs on the sides of his parts. Obviously at the time the scrotum wasn’t developed yet but I still saw two flaps of what looked like skin on either side! There’s also this video which I found really helps with identifying from the pictures you’ve shown I think you do have all males but i can’t be too sure about Otis. Hope this helped even a bit!

To give you all a little laugh, I wasn’t able to get my rabbit to stay still enough to know his gender but when I went to the vet I asked him to double check. By then he was 12 weeks.. and I was still unsure but almost sure he was a male based on his behaviour. When vet came back he literally said “I don’t know how you missed this.. but he’s a male. Like his balls are huge love”

This is actually very helpful! I did notice the flaps of skin at the side that I kind of assumed were going to be testicles. I’ve also had someone say they’re 80% sure Otis is female so I’m going to have another look tonight and compare to the rest of the obvious males! Thanks so much!

Just chiming in - no expert either....but I find examining the space between the anus & privates & comparing if THAT looks diff also helps.

Awesome! I’m so glad I could help!

I’m thinking Otis may be a girl also. It’s more of a slit than a hole. We found that it’s easier to *** right after they’re born and then again between 6-8 weeks.
