SOS Help! Is my bunny sick? Im a new owner

[Bunnymoki]

Hey guys! Please help me, I have a 5-6 months old dwarf bunny, Móki. Today when we were cuddling, I lifted her butt a little upwards because she was sliding down on my belly, thats when I noticed this bean sized pinkish bump on her belly, near the tail. Im so freaked out, could it be her genitals? Maybe Móki is actually a boy bunny? When I got her, when she was 6 weeks old, they showed me how to check a bunnys genitals and it looked nothing like it. Im so scared shes sick, shes eating well, drinking well, pooping well, nothing out of the ordinary. Maybe she was a little grumpier lately, but which bunny doesnt get grumpy at times. Please help me solve this! First thing I do tomorrow is taking her to the vet, but I dont know what to do until then. I dont usually bother her belly because she hates it, unless I have to trim some fur for obvious reasons, so I dont even know since when is the bump there. Im a first time bunny owner, I feel like I have so much yet to learn. Will my baby be okay? Anyone knows anything?  Help!

I can’t say what it could be from the pics, but it’s good that she is eating/drinking/pooping normally. As long as she is eating/pooping, she should be ok until she goes to the vet tomorrow.

It appears your little girl is a boy. The bean-sized lump looks very much like a testicle. There should of course be 2 testicles, but they might not drop at the same time. Sometimes one testicle won’t drop at all.
Baby buns are very difficult to sex, so this actually happens rather a lot ?

The first picture makes it look like a testicle a lot more clearly than the second. It looks pretty bang on to the picture I posted when Wick’s descended, and it was indeed a teste: https://binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/aft/160503/Default.aspx

** Also, I’ll add that you shouldn’t feel weird about sexing a rabbit incorrectly. It’s pretty difficult to do considering when they’re young, the hallmark sign is the shape of the urethra and the presence of two small nubs that will become testes. These monikers are very small and at some points are not yet developed when someone checks a rabbit, so incorrectly sexing rabbits is pretty common!

Whoops, is it that obvious? In my defense, I could only take a quick scrolling-page glance since my computer is surrounded by other co-workers . Well, congrats it’s a boy! At least “Moki” is a gender neutral name so you won’t have to change his name.

Your he is most definitely a she, and you should get him neutered soon to stop any hormonal behavior.

Yep, that is very much a testicle and he is very much a little male

I want to add that Ive been in your same position! When I was younger, my mom thought my rabbit was a girl. My mom saw two lumps in my rabbits thighs and let me know that she was going to the vet with my bunny, and that she may not come home with “her”. My mom thought it was a fast forming cancer growth  When my mom brought my rabbit home, she sighed, set my rabbit in front of me, then busted out laughing. I learned what testicles are that day, LOL.
