Sexing Bunnies

[njpal]

Hi we have 6 babies that are nearly 3 weeks old. They are dwarf lops.

I know it is early to sex them but is there any way of telling at thatage. We have given all the babies names and when referring to themdon't know whether to call it a he or a she.

Help appreciated.

With experience, kits canbesexed at birth. The distancebetween the genitals and the rectum is longer in the male, and moreattached in the female. You need really good eyesight thoughLOL

The genitalia will appear very similar. They arereally too young at this age to try to put any pressure on thegenitalsas this may cause injury. At sucha young age, the primary distinguishing feature is the distance betweenthe genitals and the rectum.
