In between your rabbits back legs you will see 2 ball-shaped protuberances that have no fur on them: these are the testes. Sometimes they are hidden behind fur. Actually, these are the scrotums: the testes are inside the scrotums, and you can't actually see them.

Keep in mind that rabbits can draw their testes up into the body cavity so they are not always visible. This is an adaption that helps prevent injury while digging/fighting/running etc. Especially when a rabbit is frightened, he will pull his testes into his abdomen. You may still be able to locate the scrotums, but when they're empty they can be hard to find.

Also, baby rabbits are born with the testes in their abdomen, and they don't descend into the scrotums until they grow a little older (around 4 months of age, they are usually descended, but it can take up to 5 months).
