Sexing Your Rabbit

The line between sexing your rabbit and pornography is a fine one.

Stop.

Let me first explain how we arrived here.

I noticed a lot of rabbits running around as Bill and I mounted the not-entirely-secret mountain pass where we pick huckleberries.  Way more bunnies than normal.  My buddy Bill also seemed to notice.  As I recall, he said something like: “Geez, there are a lot of #*%$\@* rabbits up here!”

For some reason, I continued thinking about the rabbits long after my return home.  Mostly, I wondered about their breeding habits—specifically, how often can they produce offspring.  My poorly phrased search engine input revealed as the number one hit something about YouTube and videos of rabbits having sex.

Nope, not for me.

Then my eye caught this: How to Sex your Rabbits.  Yep, two of my key words right there.  Naturally, I clicked on the link to “sex my rabbits.”  

Hmmm.  Actual photo illustrations.  Human hands.  Fuzzy rabbit parts.  Not so fuzzy rabbit parts.  Lurid descriptions.

First, I will admit that I initially misread something and thought I was going to find out about “sexting” your rabbits, which sounded very interesting to me.  Secondly—you know what—if “sexing your rabbits” is not pornography it is, at a minimum, a minor mauling.  I was thinking about posting a photo from the site to show you, but thought better of that.

Never really did figure out how often rabbits can reproduce in the wild.
