  1. If a rabbit is old, the claws will be very rough and long, and there will be grey hairs intermixed with the wool; but the wool and claws will be smooth when young.
  2. If it is stale, it will be limber, and the flesh will look bluish, with a kind of slime upon it; but if fresh, it will be stiff, and the flesh white and dry.
