Hey everyone!!

I posted a topicand asked about sexing baby buns. I apprieciated all the help :)

I tried sexing them today and it's kinda hard! They are a little squirmy and their "parts" are kinda tiny :) They're only 17 days old! Here's a pic of each of them if any pros out there could help me out ;) Sorry the pics are kinda bad :l

My little runt!:

What do you guys think? I'm stumped lol :)

It's alright if you guys have no idea cause they aren't the best pics but any suggestions would be soo great :)

 
Man I'm not sure if they are bad pics or if its almost too close. I kind of want to say the first is a girl and the second is a boy. Did you get to watch that video on YouTube? He shows it pretty accurately of what they look like
 
I find the easiest way to tell is how far down the slit is. A girls will be a true vulva and slit almost all the way to the anus.

A boy shouldn't have a slit at all. It may take another month for you to really tell the difference. I say shouldn't because bucks can be born with a split penis. It is rare but not uncommon. I'd say wait another week or two and look again
 
I would be able to take a look for you, but these photos aren't clear enough to tell. If you can, try holding the rabbits while you have a friend or family member take the photo. It doesn't have to be super close up...taking it a little bit further away might help the camera focus better.
