I don’t see any pictures either, here’s how to upload pics: https://binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/aft/120334/Default.aspx
About the gender, it can be very difficult to tell sometimes, especially when the rabbit is young. I was told one of my rabbits was a boy so I named “him” Wilbur, but she ended up being a girl.
It would be best to have a rabbit savvy vet confirm and since your rabbit is new a vet appointment would be good. Do you have a rabbit savvy vet already? In the meantime, here is a website that might help but I would use it as only a “guess”: How to Sex Your RabbitsWelcome to BB btw, can’t wait to see the pics

Welcome to the forums. : )
How old is your rabbit?
A quick “how to”:
Gently place your rabbit on it’s back. Make sure you support their back the whole time. Rabbits don’t like being put like this so if it’s struggling a lot and getting really stressed, try again another time. Or get a vet to take a look!Apply pressure on the genital mound until the genital pops up. Both females and male will protuded to an extent.
If female you will see a slit. For male, it is more of a round ring shape at the tip. My silly way of describing is with a napkin. If you folded a napkin on the diagonal, the folded again, the top of the triangle where the halves meet looks like a female. If you were to roll the napkin instead, the top looks like a male. I may have to put up some pics of this napkin…

I heard that male rabbits don’t have nipples
Mimzy wouldn’t let me put her on her back for a while so I tried feeling for nipples and they were there! Which was at about 3 mos. She just let me turn her on her back right now but only for about 5-10 seconds haha. Looks like girl parts to me though
The guy they got Mimzy from also said she was a girl, but I just wanted to double check!Take your bun to the vet to be 100% sure!
And I, too, think your bun looks like a mini rex with harlequin pattern. It’s very beautiful!

Exact same happened to me! I’ve been trying to look as well sometimes you can feel for testes but if they’re you g they may not have developed properly or its hidden under fur. But yeh keep feeling as they get older. Here’s another link I found to tell for some younger/dwarf breeds http://www.freewebs.com/hoppingmad/…totell.htm
Like people have said bucks/males have a more cylinder shaped penis that pokes out more but does/females also poke out too but is more of a triangular tipped shaped with a long slit through it. I still don’t know for defo the sex of mine but looks like a female
P.s cute bunny >.<
