Buffy & Co

Hello, i'm new here, I hope someone can help :)
Earlier this year my Rabbit Buffy gave birth to 2 rabbits, I took them to the vets when they were 4 months old and the vet told me one was a boy and one was a girl. I will tell you now that we named the male Tinny and the female J-lo as it will be easier to follow the story.
We have a huge massive 3 storey rabbit house and I wanted them to all live together so as soon as Tinny was 6 months old I took him and had him castrated. It cost me 47 pounds and a few days after he pulled his stitches out so I took him back and they glued him shut and gave him some anti-biotics and charged me another 47 pounds.
Last Saturday I went out to see if he was completely healed so I could put him back in with the girls. I picked up Buffy to stoke her and saw that she had blood all over her privates, she had just given birth. I don't know how I missed the fact that she was pregnant. I assumed that the babies were Tinny's.
I got the other girl out and left her to it as I know to leave the mother alone with her babies.
We checked the next day though and the babies were dead.
I put Buffy in with the other female while we cleaned out the house and the dead babies then when I went to get them back I found J-lo on top of Buffy, then it hit me, I checked and yes, J-lo is a boy. I will note here that the vets charged me 8 pounds to identify the sex of them.
I put J-lo in on his own and put Buffy and Tinny together, after all he had been castrated.
I called up a different vets and they said they could castrate J-lo on Wedesday so I took her(him) along and had it done and they only charged me 19.50, what a difference.
Ok so now everyone is unable to create babies right? And they can all live happily ever after?
My question is this how come when I look at where Tinny had the operation there is nothing there at all, just a scar.
When I look at J-lo's privates he still has big testicles which I can tell have been operated on, he doesnt even have any stitches he is quite normal as if nothing has happened.
Why do they look so different are there different procedures at different vets or (this has just entered my mind today) could Tinny have been female all along and the vets have operated on her anyway? I doubt they would tell me, it was their mistake.
This is really bugging me now, If Tinny was female in the first place I would never have had him(her?) done.
:confused:
