How old is he?
This sounds similar to my Sully. I was warned before I brought him home that he sprayed and was messy. But he was the complete opposite in a new place… Probably because there weren’t any other buns to ‘compete’ with. Is it possible to just lift him up and have a good look under there? It should be pretty apparent if he is intact. If you don’t see anything maybe he is really a she. You never know!

You usually can’t tell just from looking at them from behind. I was able to lift Sully’s front end up while he was sitting on a table and take a peek. When I did this, I could easily see his testes, but you might have to pull the fur back a bit. You could also have someone else lift him up for you so you can take a better look. I didn’t try to flip him over onto his back though, but if you are confident doing this then it could work as well.

There is a thread you might find interesting in the Rescue section:

Markus found out that rabbits keep their family jewels in front of their penis, go to the last few posts on page 3 of the thread.

Well some rabbits “suck” up their testicles. But in a neutered male you won’t see them either. I guess my best advice is to have a vet check the sex.

Also some rabbits from petstores do come altered. Is there any kind of little dot tattoo in the ear?

My boy was totally fine before being neutered and had no bad habits, so not all males are spraying stink machines.

I would take him to the vet for a check up anyway and ask them to check. They’ll be able to find the testicles if they’re there.

Otto also never had a single litter box accident (poo or pee) before or after he was neutered. More often than not, I think the big sprayers are the males in multi-bunny households. When they’re the only bun, there’s not nearly as much need to mark and spray your territory.

If you can’t turn him around, you can easily slip some fingers between his legs from behind…okay, it will look like you are a pervert, but it does work. If you feel something, he is intact. But as Sarita says, his testicles could be been sucked up, although I don’t think that is common in house rabbits, but only wild rabbits – just a guess.

Some rabbits are just very “clean” although they are not neutered. Also, my experience is that rabbits sometimes wait a bit until they feel fully secure in their new home, before they begin the marking. So he may actually begin in a week’s time.

It is possible that you have a female on your hands as well. People can easily mistake a girl thingie for a boy thingie so again, have your vet tell you.

One of my vet’s tried to tell me my neautered male was a girl … when the ‘boy part’ finally popped out he appolagized to my ‘boy’ bunny for all the prodding LOL

I find that un-neutered males easy to regognize, as the testicles are right there when u flip them over. I’ve never had one hide them from me LOL My boys b4 neutering where very well behaved, i have a neutered male who pees everywhere and sprays, so it doesn’t always change them all (little bugger)

I also had an unneutered male for a couple years and he never sprayed, never smelled, was not aggressive or destructive. The vet will tell you for sure but if you’re curious, why don’t you ask the previous owner? If she got the bun directly from a breeder (who won’t spay/neuter!) and has had possession of the bun this entire time, she would know for sure whether or not she ever paid for a surgery.

Some breeders also mis-sex the buns when they are young, so I wouldn’t count on that as a sure thing Definitely get the vet to check gender for you. He’ll likely need a check up anyway, after living in not so good conditions.

Spockie was not a sprayer either. Good with litter pan, though Samantha is much more fastidious.

He had little flat sacks that were pink and visible, but kind of shriveled, especially over time.
I think a nail trim visit to the vet is a good way to get something done and get an answer at the same time.

Stormy is about two and a half years and only started spraying in the last month. He’s also gotten downright mean to the dog. But before that, he was the perfect little angel your guy sounds like. No smell, no nothing.

If he is 2 1/2 if he is intact, you will see them or feel them. Even if he is sucking them up. When my 3 1/2 month old male sucks his up, I can still put a finger on each side of them and kind of move your fingers and press down a little. You will see them then. Get a good hold of your bun as they do not like to be violated in that area. lol. Give him a treat afterwards.

Or, you can do the easy thing and call the lady you got him from and ask lol

yes, it is also easy to mis sex them, He could in fact be a SHE

Since he is an only bunny, and if he’s laid back, he may just be an easy going non-neutered bunny. Many times other animals or other bunnies will bring out some of the typical ick habits. And like Markus said, he could also be a she! So who knows.

I can’t wait to find out what the real story is…neutered/ not neutered, he or she. HAHA! Keep us updated.
