Does anyone have a rec for a good book covering the reproductive endocrinology of rabbits? I'm looking at the chemical processes by which they reabsorb their young in times of famine. The Internet is full of abstracts, but the actual papers seem to be in journals requiring subscription. I can understand medical abbreviations and jargon; I'm just having trouble figuring out precisely where to look for a book that will pin down the info I need. (Veterinary medicine? Endocrinology? Human infertility research? All of the above?)

This is going into the underlayer of scientific background for probably the only hard sf piece I've ever written, so I'm anxious to get it as right as I possibly can. (This would be my short story titled, you guessed it, 'Rabbits', and the worldbuilding is ninety percent finished. But that ten percent... is getting technical.)
