Shame on you. It's too big anyway. It would be tough.

It's a little mutt rabbit or barnyard rabbit or whatever you want to call it. It will be a nice pet though. Check to see if it is a boy or a girl. You might be a grandma to be.

How can you tell gender on a rabbit? We called the local animal shelter to let them know that we found the rabbit, just in case someone is looking for it. In giving the info, the person there told us that it is very hard to tell the sex of a rabbit, and that they are only ever 50% correct. Well, a flip of a coin will get you right 50% of the time, so I don't know what method they are using over there!

Does anyone know any tricks for telling a boy rabbit from a girl rabbit?

WHAT?!? Sounds like they need to employee some new people! Rabbits are VERY easy to sex.

If it is an intact male, when you flip it over, you will see the "sacks" just under the tale-they won't have any hari on them. If not, it is either female or a nuetered male.

To sex, use thumb and index finger, one on top, one on the bottom of the "hole". If, when pressed, it opens into a slit, it's female, if it has a protrusion, it's male. At that age and size, that rabbit should be EXTREMELY easy to sex.

Looks like a Flemish Giant to me and definately NOT a wild rabbit breed. Friendly too if you were able to catch it. Don't feed lettuce. Carrots are ok. Needs rabbit pellets and water bottle. Nice find!!!
