Hello all!

We’ve recently adopted a handsome Flemmie boy from a nearby shelter. At the time of adoption, they said their vet had confirmed he had been neutered prior to being surrendered to the shelter by the owner. We have adopted from this shelter before and I know that they are very diligent in making sure all their buns (and animals in general) are either spayed/neutered at the shelter if they were not before arriving, or for making plans to bring the animal back in cases of babies too young to be neutered before adoption.

However, I have a couple of concerns. The reason for his surrender was that he was an “unwanted gift”, which given the timeframe, I would guess he was an Easter gift. That also means if he is a Flemmie, he is probably not full grown but could still be mistaken for an adult due to size. So, it makes me wonder if his bits have possibly just not come in yet and was mistaken for being neutered? I have a hard time believing a bunny that was unwanted would have been taken in for a neuter (although I could definitely be wrong of course).

So, I’m wondering if there is a way for me to check myself or to know for sure? I suppose I need to just have a peek myself, but I’m assuming I won’t know anymore than the vet did lol. He was not noted to have a “neuter tattoo” or marking, either. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, I don’t mind to take him in myself if needed but I was just curious of there was some method to know for sure (or even how vets know for sure lol).

Thanks! 😀
