How does the rabbit divide the male from the female?

The rabbit is the general name of all the genera of the family Rabbitidae of mammals, with long tubular ears, tufted short tails and strong hind legs much longer than the forelegs. It is difficult to distinguish between male and female rabbits under two months old. The testicles of male rabbits are hidden in their bellies when they are young. About 3 months later, they slowly descend into the scrotum. Let's take a look at how rabbits divide male and female.

Newborn rabbit

The male and female of newborn rabbits can generally be identified by observing the shape of the pudendal reproductive foramen and the distance between the pudendal reproductive foramen and the anus. The female rabbit is the female rabbit whose hole is flat and slightly larger and close to the anus, and the male rabbit whose hole is round and slightly smaller and farther from the anus.

Open-eyed rabbit

After eye opening, the young rabbit can clip the tail with the index finger and the middle finger, and the thumb gently pushes the genitals upward. The male rabbit whose opening is in the shape of "O" and the female rabbit whose opening is in the shape of "Y" longitudinally.

Young rabbit

At 8 or 10 weeks after birth, the male rabbit grows testicles (testicles). Grasping the rabbit and touching the vulva near the anus will feel that a piece of meat slightly larger than the broad bean is a male rabbit, while a female rabbit without a piece of meat. However, there are large and small pieces of meat, individual is also difficult to distinguish between male and female, and adult male rabbits do not have hair on the scrotum.

Adult rabbit

When the rabbit grows up and begins to estrus, the hind legs of the male rabbit often slap the ground and chase after the female rabbit, during this period it is easy to distinguish between male and female rabbits. This kind of behavior of the male rabbit is courting the female rabbit and expressing his existence to each other. When the female rabbit is in estrus, she can secrete a special smell and raise her tail, swinging constantly, so that the secreted smell spreads outward, thus attracting the male rabbit.
