If it is 5 months old, or older, the easiest way to tell is to flip it over and see if there are bald sacks on either side of the tail. If so, you have a male. If not, you either have a female or the testicals have not yet dropped.So if you do not see these, you will have to go the harder route. Turn the rabbit over and scissor the tail with your pointer and middle finger (one on top of the tail, one on the bottom). Gently pull the tail away from the body, exposing the genitalia area. At the same time, use your thumb to gently pull the top of the genitalia area's skin toward the rabbit's body. This should expose the genitalia, if it is done correctly. Shaft-like and sticking up means a male. (If it is a baby, there will be a round hole). Attached at one end, but not at the other, and with a slit means a female. If you are still unsure, you might try to find a show breeder in the area to figure out the gender and to show you how it is done.
