The hand-written newspaper about the rabbit is as follows:

The Mao family is full of purple energy, and the Year of the Rabbit announces the New Year. The red plum blossoms smile in the spring, and the jade rabbit appears in joy at the moon.

The red plum blossoms welcome the New Year, and the jade rabbit accompanies the goddess of joy. Ding Niange prospered, and the Mao Rabbit shone in China.

The jade rabbit and toad laugh in the palace, and the red plums and five ridges are fragrant. The jade rabbit welcomes the arrival of spring, and the oriole announces the arrival of good news.

The Jade Rabbit welcomes the spring, and the red plum blossoms bring blessings. The red plum fragrance is in the small courtyard, and the jade rabbit descends to the world.

The red plum blossoms welcome the snow, and the jade rabbit steps into spring. When the tiger goes away, the power is still there, but when the rabbit comes, the fortune will be more prosperous.

The tiger is gone and the glory is gone, and the rabbit is full of joy.

Reproduction methods

It is difficult to distinguish between male and female rabbits. The gender of newborn rabbits can generally be identified by observing the shape of the genital pore and the distance from the anus. If the hole is flat and slightly larger, and the distance between it and the anus is closer, it is a female rabbit; if the hole is round and slightly smaller, and the distance between it and the anus is farther, it is a male rabbit.

Eight to 10 weeks after the rabbit is born, the male rabbit will grow testicles (testicles). Grab the rabbit and touch the vagina near the anus with your hand. You will feel a piece of meat slightly larger than a broad bean. This is a male rabbit, and the one without a piece of meat is a female rabbit. However, the pieces of meat vary from big to small, and it is difficult to distinguish the male from the individual. Adult male rabbits do not have hair on their scrotum.

When rabbits grow up and start to be in estrus, the male rabbits often slap their hind legs hard on the ground to make a sound, and chase after the female rabbits. It is easy to distinguish the male and female rabbits during this period. This behavior of the male rabbit is to woo the female rabbit and express his presence to her. When a female rabbit is in estrus, she can secrete a special smell, lift her tail and keep swinging it to spread the secreted smell outward, thereby luring male rabbits. The gestation period of rabbits is 30-35 days, and each litter gives birth to 1-12 rabbits. The natural lifespan of a rabbit is generally 4-9 years.
