New pics pink popples, bottom of post # 6.
These six are the poor SFx that didn't make it. Hoping some of the pictures can be used for sexing. Please let me know what you think they are, I'd like to add them to my website and to add to my "Male or female...this is how you tell them apart!" thread properly marked.
Some of them are really hard to tell where the peepee hole is, sorry, I couldn't see them in person either.
Thanks!

I found these alternative ways of sexing.
"* The Pee Test for sexing babies. *
(Seen on the web.)
Written for the impatient/curious soul. When your new babies are a day or so old, or up to a week or so, gently pick one up so that it is held belly up. Make sure you wait for a time when they need to pee. Lick your pinky (yes I said lick your pinky!) of the opposite hand and gently tap, stroke the genital area (cool breath helps) til the baby starts peeing. If the stream lets out in a straight stream then it is a male. If it lets out straight but then goes to a heavy drip then it is a doe. Crazy? Well, sounds that way, but I have never had it be wrong. Use a different finger for each baby for obvious reasons. And try it a couple days in a row, to be sure. You have to catch them early, before they pee on their own. I like knowing what sex they are early on.
* Checking for Teats *
(From an experienced breeder friend)
Also, another way I have heard about sexing rabbits at only a few days old is looking for teats, I have been told that female rabbits will be born with visible teats and males will not. (You have to be sure and check before 3 days of age before they hair grows in making it harder to locate the teats)"

My guess- 3F, 3B.
