How To Tell If A Rabbit Is Male Or Female
Introduction
I’m going to be honest here: I do not play favorites when it comes to my rabbits. I love each and every one of them equally. In fact, I’d say that if you have a rabbit as a pet, you really should love them as much as possible. But one thing that would make loving your rabbit even easier is if you know what gender it is! And in case you haven’t been able to figure out if your rabbit is male or female, then today is your lucky day! After reading this post, you will know how to tell the difference between a bunny boy and a bunny girl with ease!
The easiest way to determine the sex of your rabbit is by looking at their genitalia.
The easiest way to determine the sex of your rabbit is by looking at their genitalia. The external genitalia are called the vulva (where female rabbits urinate and defecate) and the penis, which is located on the underside of a male rabbit’s abdomen.
Male rabbits have two testicles that are visible through their penises when they stand up to urinate or defecate. Female rabbits have one ovary on either side of their uterus, but it will be covered by fur so you won’t be able to see it unless you’re looking for it specifically for some reason—like if you want to breed them!
If you’re still unsure, you can gently place your rabbit on its back and gently manipulate their hips with your other hand to get a better look.
If you’re still unsure, you can gently place your rabbit on its back and gently manipulate their hips with your other hand to get a better look. This way, you will be able to see the genitals and bacula of the rabbit under direct lighting conditions. It is important to note that this method is not 100% accurate however, so keep in mind that gender determination is not an exact science!
Rabbits have penis bones called bacula and this is what allows male rabbits (bucks) to mate for hours on end. These bones will be visible in male rabbits after about 7 weeks of age.
The easiest way to tell if a rabbit is male or female is by observing its genitals. The external genitalia of both sexes are similar, but there are some subtle differences that can help you determine the sex of your rabbit.
In females (does), the vagina has two lips which surround it, while in males (bucks), there are two small openings called “hemipenes” located on either side of the anus. The hemipenes are used for urinating and ejaculating sperm during intercourse with does or other bucks (interbreeding).
Another sign that may indicate a male rabbit is when he starts growing testicles between 7 and 9 weeks old, which can be visible as tiny bumps on either side of his rear end when viewed from above. These will grow larger over time until they resemble grapes—or more coherently: balls!
You can also observe your rabbit’s behavior if you’re unsure about their sex as well.
You may also be able to tell if your rabbit is male or female by observing his behavior. If a rabbit is male, he’s likely to be more aggressive and territorial. This means that he may not get along with other rabbits and will fight with them over territory. Female rabbits are more docile and friendly, so they won’t cause much trouble in the house or cage by fighting with other rabbits.
That being said, this isn’t always the case—there are times when male and female rabbits can become aggressive towards one another even though they’re of opposite sexes!
When it comes to telling a rabbit’s gender, it’s important to know that there is no way to be 100% sure unless you have them vaginally or rectally palpated by a veterinarian or if they are spayed/neutered.

Rabbits are born with their sex organs undeveloped and come in both sexes. They are sexually mature at about 7 weeks of age and can reproduce as early as 4 months old.
Conclusion
So now you know how to find out whether your rabbit is male or female. It’s a fairly straightforward process that will let you know if your bunnies are ready for reproduction. Males can be taken to the vet for neutering and females, as we’ve seen, can be spayed by a professional vet to prevent unwanted pregnancies and other health risks. What’s important is that you’re able to tell the difference between the two sexes so that you can decide which option is best for your rabbit’s needs, since some breeds are more sensitive than others when it comes to spaying or neutering procedures
