Cool--I had one that walked on her hind legs for cilantro--just not very far. Years ago we had a French Lop that would play fetch-roll a wicker ball and he'd return it to me and drop it so I could roll it again. He also loved playing with and in brown, paper shopping bags.

We taught Hip Hop to jump on a round carpeted cat house, about 1 foot high. He would jump on top, and sit up for food. We will try to teach Sadie to jump very soon. Brent and Sharon

They are so smart. When it's time to go back in their respective hutch, all of ours will go into the only box we have with a top on it, or else they get picked up--they like the box better.

What breed of rabbits do you have? Brent and Sharon

 

[Nancy McClelland]

Currently we have an 18 year old mini Rex, a Lionhead, and a medium mixed breed. In the past, Netherland at 2 pounds all the way up to a Checkered Giant that was 20 pounds and they all learned to go in the box. The Lion Head is a bit grumpy, but he used to be a biter and was on "death row" til we took him in and gave him some attitude adjustments. Train your bunny, or they'll train you!

Wow! 18 years and I thought hiphop was old at 14. I like the mini rex their fur is so soft! Brent and Sharon

We have had 3 that made it to 15 and one other that got to 16. We had a Zebra Finch that made it to 12, which is double the normal expectancy. We have also had a few that never got past 3 too, and that was just plain hard.
