  Ok this a strange question.. But Izabella was chasing my daughters foot around, her favorite activity these days. And I swear at times it seems like she was humping it! Izabella is scheduled for a vet checkup in a month, but I was told she was a she? Do she’s hump? Is she really a he? She does not like to be picked up and to be honest, I can look at bunny genitals all day and never really know what I am looking at. No reason to make Izabella suffer with me and my daughter trying to hold her and determine the sex. Another 30 days will not make a difference.
  
  But does anyone’s female bunnies hump? I love Izabella and will keep her no matter what she/he is. But I hope she/he is a girl! However, she does have a unhealthy relationship with my daughters foot!
  
  Thanks,

  Female bunnies do hump occasionally. They will absolutely hump other bunnies to show dominance, and it’s not unheard of for them to hump humans before being fixed.
  
  Question – does she ever run around you or your daughter while making kind of a soft “honking” noise? That’s a typically male behavior and might give you a tip on her gender (though it’s still not 100% because I’m sure there have been females out there who have done it)
  
  Also, if you do manager to pick her up and flip her over, male testicles can be quite obvious once they’ve descended.

  Monkey humps. She is a little humpy machine. And definitely a girl, as she is spayed
  
  I would suggest gettign her sexed by a rabbit vet, and scheduled for a spay/neuter asap

  A way you can sometimes tell sex in a mature rabbit is if immediately after humping you pick her up and look underneath. A male bunny may have a “protuberance”. A female bunny will not.
  
  Rabbits are missexed all the time.

  This site tells and shows exactly how to sex your rabbit. Fair warning – it actually shows the genitals so it’s graphic.

  My friend’s female bun has a stuffed bunnyy friend she humps the heck out of. Before she was spayed, she would hump the heck out of my friend’s arm for some reason. lol And Lulla (the bun) was like in love with Stacy – circling her feet and everything. lol

  Both Halo and Bud honk…especially if they go near eachother’s cage. Bud always honks at me…I just never knew how to describe the sound…lol
  
  I remember Bunnie humped one of my slippers the one day when we let her out to play right after we got Lil Bud. We ended up throwing it out cause it was pretty much ruined. Before that i would have never expected her to hump..She was always so full of surprises… <3

  I think that my April is actually a he. Due to a post-hump “protuberance” , thankfully, he/she was humping the wrong hole for any babies to be made. Consquently, April and May are now in separate digs.

  Well, folks the debate is over.. Izabella is now Mr. Izz… or Izzy. He is most definately a He! We could see his male parts and to be honest there is no mistake he/she is a he. His testicales are kinda obvious. Silly bunny.. I sat with mr. Izzy for about 10 minutes rubbing his nose asking him where he got them. My daughter thought I was crazy. ha, ha, ha… Well that explains how he peed out his cage last night. first time for that.
  
  Well, now I have a male bunny.. His name is Mr. Izz.

  lol awww Izzy is a cute name still Oh how I miss those cute bunny honking sounds Dexter did the same thing before he was neutered, if I wore shorts he would always try to hump my foot or leg. If I wore pants he wouldn’t do it lol.

  Bunnies are prone to gender confusion. I got two girls that actually turned out to be two boys.
