If you are now interested in raising rabbits it is very useful to know the parts for many reasons. If you were thinking about producing rabbits for meat purposes, and butchering them, it is very important to knoe the parts. This picture is the kind our 4-H club uses for the Junior members, but even from time to time I look at it just to make sure I know them.
Here are the parts that are not the: ears,nose,mouth,and tail. But we all know that a rabbit has those parts. I also want to point out that the small bump above the Chest and below the mouth is a dewlap. The dewlap is only on Does and should not be on bucks. Some show rabbit breeds are not to have a dewlap, but most do. The dewlap is useful to the doe when she has kits (baby bunnies) she tears her fur from it, her chest and belly to give to the nest to keep the kits warm. The parts of the rabbit are pretty basic and should be learned by any rabbit breeder. If you would like to print a rabbit part picture that you can fill in feel free. This works great for kids who are interested in rabbits.
There you go, I hope I could help.
