How can you tell if a baby rabbit is a boy or girl? I'm guessing it is about a week old, give or take.

To determine the sex of the rabbit, use your forefinger and middle finger to press down the vent area just in front of the anus. In both the doe and buck, the area will protrude. The doe will display a slit or central line running up and down. Each side of the slit will be banded in pink. The buck, on the other hand, will display, if less than 5 weeks old, a blunt white tube without a central line. It will not have pink traversing either side of a center line. http://www.debmark.com/rabbits/sexing.htm

Boy rabbits have a carrot and girl rabbits don't.

It's kind of difficult to do if you've never done it before or if the rabbit is very young. It kind of takes experience which is why most of the people that work in those pets stores don't know what they are talking about. Especially at younger ages, there are no outward signs of sex in rabbits. Bucks may not show testicles or even a penis until several months old. So you have to be good at 'reading' their genitals. You can sex rabbits as young as a few weeks old if you know what to look for. Instead of trying to explain it to you, here are two websites with photos that will explain it. It's so easy to teach in person but this will have to do. The first link has two links at the bottom for boy and girl. Be sure to look at those:-) http://www.rabbitnetwork.org/articles/sexing.shtml http://www.debmark.com/rabbits/sexing.htm
