Ok this one has really confused me...
I bred some bunnies born back on 6 April, I had studied all the sexing threads in here, sexed them and rechecked them for practice over the following months. One I believed to be a doe I was keeping to breed from and had it vaccinated at 4.5 buy the vet who also checked its gender and recorded it as female. The others ended up being what I though they were going to be (and being meat rabbits ended up dinner at around 5-6.5 months and no they weren't tough ect) Anyway the "doe" was bred at 6 months old and her undercarriage still looked like a doe, she wasn't keen though and kept running away and laying down then the buck would mount her, 10 days later I could feel some marble sized lumps in its belly (about 4 definitely under the skin not in the fur) and a friend visiting could feel them too but about a week before due date she didn't seem as big as I would have thought and she didn't kindle either. I put her with the buck again and this time the buck was still keen and did mount "her" several times but she was a little bit aggressive toward him... Day 10 I couldn't feel anything and put her with 2 bucks living in a colony situation they both were aggressive toward "her" and she didn't like them too much either,.. I became suspicious of the behaviours and checked the "doe" to find out she had balls and a penis
which haven't been there before even not so long ago.
Okay so how can all of this happen? Do some rabbits mature VERY late and why didn't the vet notice either????
What were the very obvious marbles under the skin? I am terribly confused!!.
