Posing a commercial meat rabbit is essential for assessing its muscle mass, therefore posing properly will make that evaluation more accurate.
In the picture below, the angles are drawn out and lineups for proper posing are there. Even going as far as adding a fake eye for the rabbit to show where it’s front toes should line up. 🤭
⭐️ The tips of the front toes should be aligned vertically with the rabbit's eyes.
⭐️ The front legs, including the elbows, should be flat on the table.
⭐️ The hind toes should align with the front of the stifle joint. (Hind leg knee)
⭐️ Head control is an essential part of posing the commercial meat rabbit.
⭐️ Hold the head at a 45° angle, slightly lifted, then putting slight pressure back towards the elbows. The head should not be pushed down from the top of the rabbit, placing it’s chin on the table.
Happy posing!
