Best Answer

Boy

There is no way to determine sex of rabbits by how mean they are or are not. Does are more than likely to be aggressive than bucks are as they are very territorial. Bucks are also territorial and protect their areas from other bucks.

The only sure way to know if a rabbit is male or female is to examine the genitalia. Unless you are very familiar with rabbits, this may be a difficult procedure.

Looking at other parts of a rabbit's appearance won't tell you its gender for sure. Both male and female rabbits have nipples. Both male and female rabbits sometimes "mount" other rabbits. Both males and females have dewlaps (although usually it's more pronounced on females, but it can be pretty big on an overweight male as well). Often, female rabbits have rounder faces than males, and males are more aggressive than females, but rabbits are individuals just like humans -- some males are more feminine than others, while some females are more masculine than others.

If you see testicles on your rabbit, then you know it's a male. The genitals are furless, flesh-coloured balls near the genital opening. Each testicle has its own scrotum. Fur often hides the testicles, so feel with your fingers and push the fur out of the way. On babies, the testicles don't show because they're hidden in the abdomen. The testicles descend anywhere from 9 to 20 weeks of age.

However, if you don't see testicles, this doesn't mean it's necessarily a female: it could be a neutered adult male, a frightened adult male (they can retract their testicles into their abdomen as a self-defence), or a juvevnile male (male rabbit's testicles descend anywhere from 9 to 20 weeks of age). You could try looking for the empty scrotums (skin sacs), which you might find if the male as retracted his testicles or if the male is recently neutered, but these can be hard to find when they're empty and they generally wither away once the male has been neutered for awhile.

How to examine the rabbit's genitalia

To examine the genitals, you have to turn your rabbit upside down. Sometimes this "trances" the rabbit; however, some rabbits don't trance well, so don't assume they will. Rabbits don't like this very much, so be very cautious. Be gentle, firm, and in a safe position so if the rabbit struggles, you can safely turn her right and put her down. A struggling rabbit can seriously injure itself! You should have someone with you who can hold the rabbit securely while you examine the genitals. If you're not experienced or comfortable handling rabbits, have your vet do it instead.

Both males and females have genitals that "pop out," so they can be easily confused. The opening closest to the tail is the anus. The opening closest to the belly is the genitals. Gently place a finger to each side and lightly apply pressure down. Examine what pops up. Sometimes the penis pops right out. Other times, the penis does not appear, but you see a tube with a small opening at the top. This is a boy. Girls have a slit this is an opening that starts at the high point and ends where the genitals meet the body, near the anus. Sometimes the area appears to have some dark red coloring, and other times it is pink. What sometimes confuses people is that "something"- the vulva, pops out and there can be some height. Don't let this confuse you: if there is a slit you have a girl.

There are both boy and girl rabbits.

Male rabbits are called "bucks" female rabbits are called "does".
It can be either.

No. Creatures aren't born evil, but can be brought up evil- for animals, they are hardly brought up at all so it is probably the way owners treat them.
