Anyone train a rabbit?

[az]

I read Don't Shoot the Dog!: The New Art of Teaching and Training
by Karen Pryor years ago and have since successfully trained my dogs.

We just got two baby bunnies. Anyone have any experience in clicker training bunnies?

You should send a private message to RavTux. I believe that he has a few as pets. He started the "adopt a bunny" thread. :D

They poo all over the place, if that's what your asking. That's normal. They are starting to understand litter-training.

So that they feel important. Otherwise, their little lives are boring.

We are not talking about maneovering in formation or standing at attention. Perhaps coming when called, going into their cage when asked and maybe playing fetch?

I used to work in the children's section of a public library. We had a rabbit there that had been trained to fetch treats out of shirt pockets and could play simple card tricks (he always chose the card closest to him, but the kids thought he could actually read!).

- you need a dog!

We've already got one. She's happily trained.

No, our goldfish are not clicker trained, although they do respond to conditioned stimuli such as expecting food when we open the top of the aquarium.

I used to have a large Jack Dempsey (http://www.aquatic-hobbyist.com/profiles/freshwater/cichlids/jackdempsey.html) (cichlid, about 8 inches long) that was trained to jump out of the water and take food pellets from my hand. The weird thing was he wouldn't do it for anyone else.

Mountain rescue in the Swiss Alps, costs less money to feed than a Saint Bernard :wink:

no, no! the 'bunny dance' is when they hop around you, in a circle, making a little grunting sound. i'm sure rav would confirm this behavior if he weren't too busy looking for his new favorite distro.

These are the kinds of ideas I'm looking for. Thanks!

I personally can't help you with training your rabbit but someone on our (mine and my partners) forum may be able to:

hme, i heard the best way to train a rabbit is to adopt the 'carrot and stick' approach! :-)
