Answer
Hi Colleen,
  ok...hold the rabbit on your lap on it's back with head farthest from you..gently squeeze and push down the genitals between your fingers, if the genital pops up and has a circular opening,it's a male...if theres more of a slit,and less protruding,it's a female. Good Luck!  this is always hard to do...you may have to repeat it several times and compare them...all the best,Elizabeth
