Need a Little Help

[Camarie]

Anyone have pics of what a nuetered male looks like? I can't find Jethro/Hazels balls and was wondering how do I tell?

Well..a neutered rabbit doesn't have any. lol That's what they remove.

If you gently push on the genitals, it should expose a penis if they are male.

Yup, OakRidgeRabbits is right. The only way to tell is to look at the genitals.

This thread has some good pictures:

yea i see his genitals but no sacks. Lol ive searched for them. They do stick out of the body like on dogs right? cause i know i can see Moos. I just wanted to know if anyone has a pic of a nuetered male that i could compare Jethro to.

I know i don't have any pictures of the neutered males that i fostered. BUt they do look just like does from the underside, Bo's sack's completely shriveled up and disappeared.they just basically have a penis whereas the does do not.

okay this is helping to just provide evidence he is nuetuered. plus no one can find his sacks so that helps lol.

Just thinking before I took off for work, and what I remembered about getting my bucks to drop was just watch to see if he drops testicles being around your little doe. But somehow I don't think, without the sacks, that he will drop at all because they aren't there.

Yea he has tried to hump her lol he humped her head and i grabed him to see and still no sacks so he must be nuetered lol the vet said he was but the vet doesnt usually see bunnies so id thought id ask you guys.

Where did you get him? How old is he?

If he is over 6 months, chances are good that he's already neutered. But if he's younger, they may just not have dropped yet. Also, some bucks never drop- it's called cryptorchidism (if I spelled that right). They have lower fertility rates but CAN still produce, so you have to watch out for that.

I adopted him from a man who rescued him from a being abandoned at a park. He is old. He has cateracts. He is definately over 6 monthst. I will watch Boo very closely. Yea I havent been able to fins his sack so i think i am in the clear.
