Bunny behavior/sexing issues..

[MarisaKWojo]

My 5 month old flemish giant has recently begun humping my cat. I thought Pepper (the bunny) was female but now I'm second guessing myself. Why would she be doing this if she is indeed a female? How would I sex her assuming I am wrong about her/his sex?

by 5 months old u wouldve seen his testicles by now have u turned him/her over yet?....females hump also

Now that I have looked I'm nearly positive that my bunny is indeed a male. Which is shocking because when he was 8 and a half weeks old I took him to the vet and my vet said he was a she. But I am assuming at that age it may be hard to distinguish between the sexes with out being invasive.

Its hard to tell even up to six months at times. even if you are a "professional" breeder who has done it for years and years. A Netherland Dwarf breeder at WIF open show was selling some due to having some that were not does. so don't feel bad. its fine. I had two as well that i thought were does turned out to be bucks. I got one doe out of 3.

My cat runs away scared from the situation. haha Its kind of funny though. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one with confusion concerning the sex of my bunny. I'm just glad his name isn't strictly female. haha.

Yes it is. The funny thing about my story was the ND breeder had told me his story and that night I came home and found out I had two bucks and a doe. lol.

my friend's bunny was a girl and she would hump the cat whenever she could catch it. she was just a very dominant female. it stopped once she was spayed.
