When i clean the rabbits i make sure both sides of it are symetrical, if there is a back leg bigger than the other or one side of the back sticks out more than the other then thats what i normally find, a sac filled with clear liquid and eggs in rows usually a star shape, youll see what i mean when i find the photo, bear with me.
