How to distinguish male and female rabbits
1. Sex distinction of newborn rabbits method. For newborn rabbits, gender can generally be distinguished by observing the shape of the genitals and the distance from the anus. The female rabbit’s genital hole is flat and larger, closer to the anus. The male rabbit’s genital hole is round and slightly smaller, farther from the anus.
2. The method of gender discrimination of juvenile rabbits.
A male rabbit grows testicles 8 to 10 weeks after birth. The owner can touch the genitals of the rabbit near the anus with his hands. If he feels a piece of meat like a broad bean, it means that it is a male rabbit. If you don’t feel lumps, it’s a female rabbit. However, the testicles of male rabbits of the same age are large and small, and it may be difficult to distinguish individual rabbits. .
3. Sex discrimination method of adult rabbits.
Rabbit estrus is the easiest period to distinguish the sex of rabbits, which can be distinguished according to the estrus behavior of rabbits. The manifestations of estrus in adult male rabbits are: the hind legs often slap the ground hard and chase after the female rabbit. This is the performance of the male rabbit courting the female rabbit. This performance is mainly to let the female rabbit notice it. When the female rabbit is in estrus, it will secrete a special smell, and lift the tail and keep swinging, so that the smell spreads, and this method is used to lure the male rabbit.
