What Rabbits Do You Have? Show Off Your Rabbits Here!

Thank you all for your help!!! According to google, in newborns (which mine are about a week now), the males holes are farther apart and the girls are touching? So I'm guessing male: female: And I don't know, male maybe? They seem like they have really long tails for rabbits, maybe because they don't have a lot of fur. I really like the coat on this one I think is a girl. She's a mutt the mom is an Altex we don't even know for sure what the dad is, but I thought her coloring was different, I like the white inside the ears against the dark and on the belly.

She looks like a black otter to me.

I have guessed correctly all but once with new borns, and I would personaly say the top is a buck, middle a doe, and bottom a buck like you said

Am I the only one who has sexed a litter correctly 2times out of 3 litters on day one? I have poopy eye sight but I think I got all correct. They are now 6+months and at new homes. But I check every week to make sure the "fairy didnt Chang them on me" lol. But it happend to me on litter three. I think on litters 1&2 it was pure luck though. Being it was my first two litters. I had 6bucks and 6does so I had both sexes, it made it easer but not easy

It takes time and practice. Even many experienced breeders make mistakes - darn that sex-change fairy

Yeah, lol. I think I just got lucky. Where'd that luck go?

1st get a warm wet wash cloth and get it cleaned up.

What kind if bedding material are you using? Do not use cedar.

How old is it?

Sounds like it may need antibiotics or trip to vet. Hopefully some of the experts will be on here soon to give you more advice.

I've tried whipping its eyes but I cant, it just wont wipe off. I just home made hay from our farm. its only a couple of months old (not exactly sure). yeah im going to try giving it antibiotics.

Hold a very wet warm wash cloth on it until the gunk looses up. Is they hay dusty. I'm no expert by far just trying to help treat the symptoms. How are the antibiotics going.

Get him to a vet, s/he needs help asap! Can you get a pic? I want to see what this looks like.

The link above is another article about Myxomatosis. For some reason, I can't copy and paste it, so I linked to it. CrazyChookLady5's rabbit's symptoms (swelling around the eyes, followed by purulent discharge from the eyes and nose, swelling around the anus/genitals) sound more and more like it.

Because Myxomatosis is caused by a virus, there is no treatment. The disease has to run its course, which most often results in the death of the rabbit 2 -14 days after symptoms are first noticed. Unless the owner is able/willing to do IV fluids, a Vet's advice would most likely be to put the rabbit out of its misery, as the odds are not good even with the best of care.

On sexing: don't feel bad. One of my bunnies came from a super knowledgable breeder who said it was a female between 3-4 weeks old. Got another bunny. Took them to the vet a couple of times. The exotic specialists at LSU Vet School. They also said females. I set up to have them fixed and the vet called me afterwards to say they both were bucks. Lol. No one could sex those two bunnies.
