  Today I got told that my bunny is a hermaphrodite. He was definitely a male and got neutered last year. His testicles were dropping and he had a penis. A few days ago I felt a little lump on the side of his belly so I looked at it and I spotted his weird looking genitalia which looked like a….vagina. Renowned rabbit researcher Esther van Praag suggests it could be a nipple and he actually does look like a female down there. I’m so confused about what do now. Is he female now because he got desexed last year? Do I need to spay her/him? In Germany we don’t spay rabbits because of the risk associated with surgery. I don’t know what to do. I plato get him a partner in the future – what sex should I get?
  
  As for his personality he has always been very vocal and sassy. Now I’m thinking it may have been due to the hormones all a long? Has anyone had experiences with hermaphrodites?
  
  I’m still planning to get it checked by out a local vet, maybe it’s just skin growth and he is still male.

  I wonder if this is more development of a split penis? It looks like it could be one in that first image.

  You’d need some scans done to verify if he also has some female organs.
  
  You might like to look up some older threads by Boston’s Mama. She has 2 buns that had ambiguous genitalia.
