OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.

I got my rabbit from the SPCA back in November and was told she was a female. She was listed on their website as a female and her name was “Amber.” The paperwork they wrote out stated she was female and I even asked to make sure she was female. Forward about 6 months later to now, I notice these on my rabbit. She is played with and handled very often and I would have noticed these beforehand. ?

Heheheh… yep. Those are jewels, alright.
Don’t feel bad for not noticing them or for the SPCA not noticing them. Male bunnies can retract their testicles and even so, until they drop at 4-5 months (usually) they are pretty much impossible to spot.
My darling boy Chewie was originally Lilo, the girl bun. And then one day he decided to surprise mummy while playing with his favourite toy.

If the paperwork says unknown, then that means they don’t know if an animal was spayed/neutered beforehand and they didn’t do anything (because if they did, then they would know for sure). I’m sort of surprised they would adopt out without spaying/neutering first. That is the policy at most places. Oh well, I think that answers your question. You have yourself a boy. He just waited until now to make it obvious.

Me too! They need to be careful if homing them intact.
@Lilybunny15, I have to agree. I think they are testicles. If this happened to me, I’d be letting the SPCA know.
Do you have other rabbits?

Hes likely going through puberty which can possibly turn him aggressive until he is neutered. I suggest taking him to your rabbit certified vet for an exam and preneuter blood work
Plus, if his food intake has slowed down, youll want to go to a vet anyway to ensure its not the beginning of stasis which if not treated can kill a rabbit
