  How noticable is it when a male’s testicles decend? My bunny get freaked out when I pick him up place him on his back. he doesnt trance, and I read/heard that they can retract them up into their bodies when they are picked up?

  Well, it does depend and as you say, they can retract them. That is why you just cannot rely on that to sex a rabbit.

  Have you seen them at all? If he’s over 4 months, he should be good to go. Your vet will let you know for sure when you take him in for his pre-neuter appt.

  It’s not always super noticeable. Otto’s were descended when I got him, but the vet had to push around his fur to spot them.

  I managed to pick him up this morining without him freaking out and Im positive I saw both of them so I think that I’m good to go. My husband and I have actually decided that we are going to take him to a spay neuter clinic to have him neutered. most of the vets in our area that I trust to do the surgery either
  1) doesn’t do a closed neuter
  2) are priced at over $200
  
  we have 4 rabbit rescues in the area and the spay neuter clinic that I found does the surgeries for two of the bigger ones rescues and they are way more affordable at about $50 for a neuter. when I called them they were very knowledgeable about rabbits and made me feel very comfortable about having Cinnabun go there to get it done. I just wanted to make sure that I could tell that they have dropped so I could call them and talk with them again.

  That’s a FANTASTIC price for a neuter. They can tell you how old they are comortable to neuter at and indicate if you can bring him in or need to wait. Most vets do it at 5-6 months but there is variance, and they can tell you when to bring him in.
