Many people have problems training there rabbit... umm or maybe its just the rabbit. Well i am so hard to train and i tend not to listen but here are some ways to help YOUR rabbit listen.
Language of the rabbit
The "-" is when ur translateing it into rabbit language
Come- come here or ill make u into rabbit stew
Down- OH get down before u fall
Cuddle- come on my lap and cuddle u cute thing
Treat- want a treat?
Home- go home and ill come play later
*Thump* - stay there is danger
Useing *thump* will eventually make ur rabbit stop dead in its tracks and will give u a chance to scoop him/her up and bring her home. *Thump* is a sound meaning u make it urself by throwing ur foot onto the ground.
WATCH OUT EVERY ONE!
There are fleas in the grass from now till july!
Picking up ur rabbit
Well, let's get RIGHT TO IT! Here are
your first critical tips - taken together they
can DOUBLE your rabbit's life (to say
nothing about increasing it's quality). This
is absolutely critical information you
need– whether you already own a
rabbit or you are just thinking about
getting one:
* Avoid pine scented beddings (the kind
you're most likely to buy at the pet store)
like the plague! (Many studies show that
they cause liver damage in small
animals - and there's mounting evidence
that they may irritate your bunny's
respiratory system too). Opt for brands
made with unscented wood shavings
or compressed newspaper instead.
Cell Sorb, Care Fresh, and "Yesterday's
News" are all great brands. (I'm trying
to set up a special discount for my list
members - I'll let you know if I'm able to
do it).
* Before you buy a bunny rabbit from
a pet store, please consider the frequent
problems encountered including
(1) unknowingly purchasing a pregnant
bunny and winding up with too many
rabbits to care for; (2) the high incidence
of illness; (3) the frequency with which
pet stores misidentify your pet's gender
(especially important if you buy 2 or more
rabbits because not every gender pair
gets along well).
Consider looking for a rescue (search
Google for “rabbit rescue” + your area)
instead. (Over a million bunnies in rescues
around the world are put to sleep each
year because they can't find a home
-- wouldn't it feel good to save a life?)
* Avoid wire mesh cage bottoms.
They're easier to clean, sure – but they
cause sores on your pet's tender little
feet. Opt for plastic bottoms instead!
(Or even better, give your bunnies an
entire rabbit-proofed room or two
- more on this in a later set of tips!)
- If you do purchase from a pet store,
read about the proper diet and care
for rabbits first. Generally a sales
associate at the pet store is going
to steer you toward buying products,
rather than what is necessary and
proper for your bunny to live a happy,
healthy life. (Of course, there ARE
some very ethical pet stores - but
they're harder to find)
Rabbit Secrets is the book with
literally hundreds of 'word of mouth'
tips and tricks - secrets which are next to
impossible to find in books and pet
stores. This is the gold which only
comes from years and years of
hands on experience ... including all
the hard to find Rabbit information
people just can't locate with internet
searches or trips to the library!
Some of the things you can look
forward to in future letters (and of
course, all at once in the book
itself if you should wish to purchase
it):
** More tips to protect your Bunny
Rabbit's health, DOUBLE her life
span, and learn how to make her
much more cuddly, playful, and
happy.
** If you're looking for a pet for
yourself or your child, we can help
you pick the perfect Rabbit for your
personal situation (and know exactly
how to prepare before you make
this critical decision)!
** You'll learn absolutely everything
you need to know about Rabbit Care
too - everything from life saving secrets,
to the little things which make your
bunny oh so much more comfortable.
Here are many ways to pick up ur rabbit
Scruff of the neck- this is acually the recomended hold becasue the rabbit can not harm u in anyway and it does not hurt the rabbit. but can irratate them.
Apple hold- The apple hold it acually better then the scruf of the neck idea.You place ur writing hand on the rabbits rump and the other hand on the neck.
Under Arm grasp- Many people do this by putting ur index finger and ur thumb under ur rabbits front arms and then place him on the crook of ur elbow. (This hold can be seen on the quote of the week page. Alycia is holding me in the crook of her elbow)
First things first. How do you know when
your bunny is happy? Bunnies love to show
it! If your bunny flops on her side and
just lies there with her eyes closed, you'll
know all is right with her world. She might
scare you the first time she does this, and
it's not uncommon for a new bunny
owner to think something is wrong. Don't
worry. Your bunny is just telling you
she's happy. It's the happy flop.
Then there's the binky. If your bunny
binkies, you know she's on top of the
world. Binkies are crazy happy dances.
Your bunny will hop in the air, twirl her
head and spin around then maybe start
running at top speed. Any bunny owner
will attest to the great joy it brings to
see their bun or buns do the binky dance.
Now, how to keep your bunny content?
First and foremost is attending to her
chewing needs. Bunnies absolutely
love to chew. Phone books are popular
with bunnies who love to shred the pages,
so make sure you keep all of your
old phone books (you might even
ask your friends and family for theirs.)
A bunny can go through a phone book
pretty quickly.
Toilet paper and paper towel rolls are also
safe and popular chew toys for bunnies. To
make it even more fun, you can take a
roll and stuff hay inside for them to dig out.
Boxes and paper bags are also a great
source of entertainment for bunnies. You
can fill the paper bag with hay, or just
put an open paper bag on the floor for
the bunnies to crawl into and dig. You'll
be surprised at how long they can
entertain themselves by playing
with the bag.
Cardboard boxes are also an incredibly
easy source of entertainment. Take a
fairly large box and cut several doorways
and windows into it. (Bunnies always prefer
to have at least two entrances.) Your
bunny will love to go in and dig, chew
(making the doorways or windows bigger)
and hide away. It's also a great place to
put your bunny's hay—which she can
eat as well as dig. You can also securely
tape a bunch of cardboard boxes together,
so the bunnies can run through them and play.
Use your imagination and creativity,
and you'll find there are endless ways
to turn everyday cardboard boxes into
a playground for your bunnies.
