Called vet who told me how to sex them to be sure. I tried, but Ethel absolutey did not appreciate me getting up inside her bubble! Took them to the vet - he took Ethel in the back and brought her back out and said "I just don't have the heart to call you Ethel, Mr. Bunny." So, I made the appt to have him fixed (didn't want a bunch of baby bunnies to worry about). The day I picked him up, 3 people in the vet's office asked me if they could buy a baby if we had any. Trixie was a light brown with very dark brown around the nose, edges of ears and paw tips, and Ethel,oops Mr. Bunny, was white with dark silver in the same places as Trixie. Took them home, bought a bigger cage. Finally, as they grew to each be quite a bit bigger than a basketball had a hutch specially built for them and moved them outside next to a storage shed under a big tree. Sorry, got reminiscing - they were beautiful and sweet bunnies but grew into what looked like mutant killer rabbits - but still sweet .
Hope, if you get your bunny, you can keep it inside. After having raises many indoor rodents of all types, they only smell if you don't keep them clean. And rabbits can be litter trained.
Forgot to add - our guinea pigs (the males) did tend to smell.
Angoras are pretty! Were they a lot of maintenance?

Seems like a lot of people have had sexing (of the bunnies. ) problems.
