Steps to Determining the Sex of your Rabbit.

It can be very difficult to tell the difference between a buck and a doe especially in young rabbits. However in older rabbits, it becomes much more apparent. To tell if your Bunny is a Buck or a Doe, use the following steps

1. Flip the rabbit over onto it's back.

2. Hold the scruff of the rabbit's neck with one hand.

3. Take your other hand and hold the rabbit's tail between your index and middle fingers.

4. Gently press down just above the sexual orifice with your thumb until either a 'slit' or a 'circle' are evident. In older rabbits, either the penis or the vagina will be very obvious.

5. In young bunnies, a 'slit' shape means that the rabbit is a doe, a 'circle' shape means that it is a buck. The photos below help illustrate exactly what you should be looking for.
