If they are male, can you get the penis to come out, or can you see the penis. I kinda pressed down with my finger around the genitals and a thing came out, that looked female. But I don't know if I should be pressing down to see, maybe I am just like stretching it to make it look female, lol. :) I dunno, with guinea pigs you press down and have to squeeze out the penis, so that's why I tried that.

All of mine (4 weeks) look exactly the same (like girls to me) but I'm sure they can't be all the same? Well they could be, but not so likely.

I'm getting worried I won't be able to sex them before they go to their new homes, which would be a disaster. :(

I'm going to look at more photos online and try to figure it out, but does anyone know where there are photos of young rabbits?

Will it be at all obvious in the next few weeks?

Thanks, hopefully someone can help me, or should I just wait another week or two?

Edit: just found a photo of a baby doe, and it looked like all of mine look. Could I be mistaken though? Is it common for them all to look the same but be different sexes, or should I be able to tell them apart?
 
Something will "pop out" with a little pressure on both sexes. Bucks are donuts (perfectly round), does are "tacos" sloped and connecting closer to the rectum than bucks.

The congenital deformity of hypospadias (split penis) gives the appearance of doe genitalia in young bucks.
 
Thanks, I'll check again tomorrow. They all looked like does to me, but I'll see if I can see if any look any different
 
I finally noticed a difference! It seems like one is a boy and the others are girls, but I'll keep checking every now and again. Unfortunately the one I was hoping was a girl and wanted to keep is the boy, but the one that I liked second most is a girl so I'll keep her :)
