Very cool Bunny Video - www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNPOdffkkLoA lady I know has been talking about teaching one of her young males agility, i think my bunnies are just to lazy (or tubby lol) to do this stuff  Actually Ani would be great at it, if she didn't have such an additude. |

I had no idea there was Bunny Show Jumping!  I wonder how they actually get the rabbits to jump over those things.  Can you tell us anything about this apparently competetive event? When, where, why?!  |

You train your rabbit with treats, some use a treat on the end of a stick, so the rabbit folows, when it does soemthing good and it's tried hard they give them the treat.
I watched a video on a lady training bunnies jumping once, but it was a while ago.
I met a lady who does clicker training, even guinea pigs, so i'm guessing u can do the same with rabbits.
This event was in Switzerland i believe, i don't know much more then that. It seems to be a bit popular in Europe, but I've seen some american videos too, i don't know anyone personally who has a rabbit who does it (yet).

Fascinating. To get them to jump AND go in a straight line must require a lot of time - and space!
