* The Pee Test for sexing babies. *

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.

I found this online so I thought I would post it here. Has anyone heard of this before or tried it? Can't wait to try it whenever I have another litter, but I don't even have a doe to breed yet so I'll have to wait until I get my ND's.

I've never heard of this, but how clever! I'm going to have to try this.

I might try it too, along with the visual check! - I forgot to say, from the title, I was expecting to have to get the rabbits to pee in a cup!

I will be trying this! Well in about 2-3 weeks when I hopefully will have a litter that was planned.

I imagined something similar, involving strips of litmus paper to compare pH levels or something.... :lol:

Exactly! I was also picturing getting them to pee on a stick like a pregnancy test! Oh joy, thanks for the laugh!

Good idea, and I'll need to try it in 1 week and 5 days, but how do you know when they have to pee?

That's easy. Wear your nicest, most delicate shirt and hold the bunny close to your chest while testing it.

:coffee-screen: Yes, they would do it on your nicest shirt.
