Please help?!

I have one Rex rabbit. I got him on August 10th, 2011 and he was born on June 5th, 2011. He loves to cuddle and I potty trained him in less than a week! An ideas on how to train him other things, how to brush him, and any ideas on how to make homemade treats?! Please reply if you know any of these!!
Thanks,
Ashley

YOu mean how to train him tricks and stuff? I've trained lots of those to my bunny Jelly. She was great. And check out clicker trainer-its great!

As far as grooming rex goes, they really don't need much. The fur is short enough that it won't mat. It's nice to help them out when they molt, though--just a quick run over with a slicker brush or damp hands should be enough.

Nail trimming is the most grooming you'll probably do, and that's the same as for any other rabbit.

Other than that, just check the ears and vent to make sure they stay clean.

How often do i need to trim his nails? i got a clippers yesterday but the pet store lady already clipped his nails so they're still short (i got him on august 10th.) But im wondering about what day should it be a good time to clip them?

Thank very much!!

usually once ever month or two is fine. Whenever they start to look long I trim them.

If you want to do training, then Agility would be a good direction to go

^^Kipcha, how do you train your rabbits to do agility? Do you use treats or what? I"ve trained mine to do some tricks like standing up on their back feeting,hopping through hula hoops, running up stairs, etc. bUt I haven't ever known how to teach the rest of the agility stuff. Do you use a clicker? I got one but my new bunny is young so, haven't gotten there yet.
