Frosted Rabbits
Well-known member
I have a question about sexing the breeds that carry dwarfism genetics- especially the MR-- so Phil-- hop on in...
So far, the only young rabbits that I have had an issue with sexing are those that may carry dwarf genetics.
What happens is this-- with the regular breeds- youngsters either show a 'taco' or a 'hot dog'-- but with some of the MR and Dutch I have looked at, I get a round protrusion, but no 'hot dog' At this time, I have three buns separated because their sexes are "UKN" I cannot be sure of their ages, as they were sale bunnies--but they are larger than smaller animals of the same breed that I had no trouble sexing.
Is the lack of definition due to: the effects of dwarf genes, breeding/bloodlines, or just 'one of those things'?
