Alright any and all that are good at this... let me hear what gender you think these 6 kits are.
I think I'm getting a little better at this and have my guesses. Let me know yours pretty please: (4 1/2 week old Mini Lops)

Apparently I can only add 5 attachments so I'll add kit #6 after this.

If there are bigger pics, can you please send them to me? Having a hard time seeing some of the bits.

Looks like:

1. Buck
2. Doe (I can't see the slit, but it looks like it has a doe shape from far away)
3. Doe
4. Buck
5. Buck
6. Buck

Hope this helps!

Edit: From the e-mailed picture of #2, it looks like it is sticking out more, but I still can't see if there is a hole or slit. If it has a doughnut shape with a hole, then I go with buck.

Thank you so much Hendricks Hearth!!

Others viewing - let me hear if you agree, please.
I was thinking all except #3 look like bucks.
However, the picture of #2 isn't quite as clear, as Hendricks Hearth said.
I can try to post a better picture of that one later tonight if needed.

I like to give people a good guess of gender before they put their deposit down @ 5 weeks.
No guarantees given on gender - just what is thought.

I can't tell with "Ripper", it seems sort of blurry on that one but "Red" looks like a buck to me and "Frosty", "Coffee", and "Chile" all look like does to me.

I'm pretty sure this is a boy but thought I would ask yall.

4 out of 5 kits look like this. The 5th one is most certainly a doe.

I don't know if you can see it or not but the penis is almost fully formed in this one. 1 buckling has what I would call a normal penis, 1 has a one that is half way between a normal penis and the 1st picture, and 2 are just like the 1st picture. But all looked like the 1st picture a week ago.

So, does a buckling's penis go through a changing or a hooding phase?

It does not matter if you hold newborn kits a minimal amount. All those myths about rabbit moms rejecting their babies are not exactly true. Only about 1/10 bun moms do that. So if you know what your doing it is OK.

I have never had a doe reject kits because I've handled them, with over 100 litters and counting. I'm often there during labor, birth, cleaning of the kits, and during nursing. My presence has saved more than one kit. I've helped kits get going if they've been left in the sac as mom is busy with other kits. I've done one emergency C-section after a doe passed between kit 2 and 3. I saved an additional 3 kits, only losing the one that was in the birth canal. Being there for your rabbits is just as much a part of animal husbandry there as it would be with cattle or horses.
I have yet to ever hear of an actual instance where a doe abandoned her kits because someone touched them. That goes the same for baby birds and wild rabbits as well. Its only repeated over and over as a myth, to keep children and well meaning people from interfering where they shouldnt.

They look all like bucks to me except one which is a doe

I had this problem hardcore with mice. Even when they were literally almost ready to reproduce I still couldn't tell. I like to hope rabbits will be easier, or that my ahem, life experience now will make it easier.

Thanks for the guide though! If I'm lucky I WON'T have to post a topic with a bunch of pictures of my bunny's behinds now. : P (fingers crossed at least)
