It can be quite difficult to an untrained eye with a rabbit that young, but is possible. It's best to have one person hold the bunny upside down and hold the back legs, so it can't kick. Once the bunny is calm, look for the penis (testicles will not be present) or vagina. Do a google image search of "how to sex a rabbit" to find good examples of the difference in anatomy. Below is a good link that explains how to look for the anatomy:
