Female rabbits are usually the ones who have dewlaps, but if a male has been neutered, he may develop a dewlap because of the lack of male hormones in his body.

How do you brown anole lizards raise there young?

Confirm if it is a male or a female,the male has a dewlap,a red under his neck. He is also bigger. Leave them in the cage together. In a week check for eggs. They mate and break up in a few minutes. The male will bob his head and show his dewlap. He will bite the females neck and climb on top of her. Good luck!
