When you train a rabbit, be firm. Don't hit or spank the bunny, but don't be too lenient either. Use a treat like pieces of carrot, broccoli, celery, apples, and Pears. ONLY give your rabbit the treats stated above. Others might not be edible for a rabbit. ONLY give the treat when the rabbit has reached your expectations. If you give the treat when the rabbit has not done the trick or command, the rabbit will think he had done the right thing and ignore you the next time. Training sessions should last 5-10 minutes.

∙ 14y agoHey. To train a pet rabbit, you will firstly need to learn it it's name. Do this by holding food in your hand and calling it's name. Do this often and the rabbit will learn. Rabbits can't really do ''tricks'' as such though. Hope this helps :) x

∙ 12y agoRabbits can't be trained to do tricks like dogs, but you can train them to use a litter box like cats -- this is cleaner and more comfortable for the rabbit, in comparison to wire-grid flooring or just putting bedding everywhere in the cage. Wire-grid flooring can lead to serious discomfort and even sore hocks (inflamed and infected heels and feet). If you do have a cage with wire-grid flooring, put in a piece of carpet or untreated woven grass mat so the rabbit can have some relief from the discomfort.

∙ 13y agoOk, first, do not listen to the answer before this. You do NOT give a rabbit peanut butter. Rabbits cannot have nuts or carbs.
Use a spray bottle and just say "NO" calmly and spray him. You do not need to Scream, just say it authoritatively. Use a spray bottle, they should sell one at pet stores or a drugstore, NOT a water gun. Just be consistent. Hope this helps, or at the very least, is better than the last answer.

∙ 13y agoHave the rabbit on one side of the fence, and lure it over with it's favourite treat (example=carrot) If it wont jump, get a stool the same height as the fence, put it beside the fence, and lift the rabbit onto the stool and lure it down with it's favourite treat a few times. Then, put the rabbit on the ground and get it to jump on top of the stool. This is harder, so use your hands for a platform to let it jump onto the stool. Put your hands a bit below the stool, and lower your hands each time your rabbit jumps. When it can jump onto the stool from the ground, you can start training it to jump up on the stool, and then back down. Hope I helped! Try different methods, and if you still need help, post a comment on my message board (:

no they are not...they are a very sweet breed of rabbit that gets along great with children. they have great personalities and can be easily trained. :)
Is it easier having a male rabbit or female rabbit?
A male rabbit should be easier cause a female will scratch you more and are a bit fussy on what they eat. While the male can also be trained easier.
Will a bunny sit when you say so?
Only if it is trained to. Unfortunately rabbits are not commonly trained animals. The difficulty to train a rabbit is likely very high.
Does bulldogs eat bunnies?

Not usually, my daughter's rabbit is litterbox trained and does not have accidents. my rabbit didn't want to use a litter box, so we got puppy training pads, which work just fine.
How do you cure broken paw on wild rabbit?
I'd suggest you contact the nearest wildlife refuge and let trained caregivers handle it.
Do liebre rabbits make good pets?
Any breed of rabbit will be a good pet if you keep them healthy, clean, and trained. However you shouldn't get rabbits from the wild. They will be scared and attack you at any chance they will get -- even if they don't have rabies. You should only get the Liebre rabbit if you are an experienced rabbit owner. If not, consider getting a Netherland Dwarf, Lop, or Dutch rabbit!
Would a Pomeranian attack a rabbit?
Yes, unless its been trained not to (and even then, the dog shouldn't be trusted alone with the rabbit or outside with the rabbit -- never forget that dogs are predators and rabbits are prey, and no matter how domesticated an animal is, its instincts sometimes snap in without warning, especially when their authority figure -- owner -- is not around).
How do you get you're rabbit used to a harness?
You start young, if you have a rabbit over 3 months of age I'd forget it. We "trained" our rabbit to wear one. To be honest, rabbits are prey and don't like to be constrained. Additionally rabbits have the ability to writhe and kick which may result in escape. A better alternative is to buy a collapsible metallic fence/pen and use a carrier to move your rabbit to and from it (when outside).
Why is has your house rabbit started dropping pills on the settee?
By dropping pills, you probably mean pooping. Rabbit poop is small, round, and dry. It rather resembles Cocoa Puffs cereal. If this is what you are referring to, it is just what rabbits do. They can be litter box trained for urination, but the poop is always an issue. If you let your rabbit run free, you will probably always have to vacuum after he is put away.
