== Can a rabbit wear a collar like a cat or dog? ==
No, rabbits should never wear a collar. A rabbit can break its own neck or strangle itself when the collar catches on something or it tries to get the collar off. The rabbit may also get their jaw or paws stuck in the collar trying to remove it and injure themselves.<ref>Bobby T. Bond, Jacob L. Bowman, Bruce D. Leopold, L. Wes Burger, Jr. and Christopher O. Kochanny, [http://www.jstor.org/stable/3783604?seq=3 An Improved Radiocollar for Eastern Cottontail Rabbits]</ref> Additionally, the fur around a rabbit's neck is very thin and rabbit skin is very delicate. Extensive use of a collar can end up with irritated skin from friction, a symptom common with the use of E-collars for injuries.<ref>University of Louisville, Office of Research Services, [http://louisville.edu/research/medicine/researchservices/stacys-newsletter/RR1-7.pdf Research Resources, Vol. I, No. 7.] August 2006.</ref> Researchers that used radio collars on rabbits suspected deaths could have been attributed to neck abrasions and other injuries from said collars found on trapped rabbits and observed that there were many accidents with legs or jaws becoming caught under a cable-type collar which were mostly mitigated when switching to a strap-type.<ref>Paulo C. Alves, Nuno Ferrand, Klaus Hackländer, [http://books.google.com/books?id=9d8_AAAAQBAJ&pg=PA359&lpg=PA359&dq=rabbit+cervical+vertebrae+collar&source=bl&ots=ULOXNj1p9c&sig=OMXm1dUzKbG-mi3AO8QP5BUQ8Y8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=FkmSU7S4NsK1yATuw4KADQ&ved=0CF4Q6AEwCg#v=onepage&q=rabbit%20cervical%20vertebrae%20collar&f=false Lagomorph Biology: Evolution, Ecology, and Conservation]</ref>

If you are worried about identifying your rabbit in the case that it escapes, please consider microchipping your rabbit. This will allow shelters and veterinarians to identify your rabbit without risking injury with a neck collar.

If you would like to take your rabbit outside for walking, please use a harness. See [[Walking a Rabbit]] for more details.

If your rabbit must wear a collar temporarily for whatever reason, use a break away collar for kittens to minimize the danger that the rabbit will accidentally strangle itself and never allow your rabbit to roam unsupervised while wearing one. Make sure the collar is snug to minimize the risk of a limb or jaw caught in the collar.

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.
__TOC__
[[File:CampNibblerMonicaStuck1.jpg|right|thumb|<span class="red">NOTE:</span> When purchasing toys for your rabbit make sure they are safe!

== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.
__TOC__
[[File:CampNibblerMonicaStuck1.jpg|right|thumb|<span class="red">NOTE:</span> When purchasing toys for your rabbit make sure they are safe! This is Monica stuck in her hidy house bought from 'Pets at Home' in the UK. She had to be extracted at the vets office.

== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

[[File:BaoBao cottontail cottage.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit playing on top of a Cottontail Cottage with ramp.|200px]]
* '''Toilet paper rolls''' with all the toilet paper and glue removed. You can also stuff the tube with hay, pellets, and vegetables to make it a puzzle feeder.
* '''Cardboard boxes''' - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.
** Cats & Rabbits & More, [http://www.catsandrabbitsandmore.com/cottontail_cottages/ Cottontail Cottages] - These are custom-made cardboard forts made by Cats & Rabbits & More, an LA rabbit rescue. They are also available through many other local rabbit rescue stores.

* Fresh or dried untreated '''lumber''' and '''branches'''. [[File:Talyad sapphire applebranch munch.jpg|thumb|right|A French Lop rabbit munching on fresh apple tree branches.|200px]]
** <span class="red">Make sure to avoid sticks from cherry, peach, apricot, plum, redwood, and other single-seeded fruit trees which are all poisonous. Cedar is also dangerous due to its aromatic oils.</span> However, the House Rabbit Society notes that toxic branches such peach and apricot branches are safe after a month or more of drying after cutting.<ref>House Rabbit Society, [http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/chewing.html#toxic FAQ: Chewing > Aren't some woods toxic?]</ref>
** Try to collect branches from plants that are not near road pollution and have not been treated with pesticides. You may wish to freeze branches before giving them to your rabbits to kill any bugs or wash them in the shower.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.
__TOC__
[[File:CampNibblerMonicaStuck1.jpg|right|thumb|<span class="red">NOTE:</span> When purchasing toys for your rabbit make sure they are safe! This is Monica stuck in her hidy house bought from 'Pets at Home' in the UK. She had to be extracted at the vets office.

== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

[[File:BaoBao cottontail cottage.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit playing on top of a Cottontail Cottage with ramp.|200px]]
* '''Toilet paper rolls''' with all the toilet paper and glue removed. You can also stuff the tube with hay, pellets, and vegetables to make it a puzzle feeder.
* '''Cardboard boxes''' - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.
** Cats & Rabbits & More, [http://www.catsandrabbitsandmore.com/cottontail_cottages/ Cottontail Cottages] - These are custom-made cardboard forts made by Cats & Rabbits & More, an LA rabbit rescue. They are also available through many other local rabbit rescue stores.

* Fresh or dried untreated '''lumber''' and '''branches'''. [[File:Talyad sapphire applebranch munch.jpg|thumb|right|A French Lop rabbit munching on fresh apple tree branches.|200px]]
** <span class="red">Make sure to avoid sticks from cherry, peach, apricot, plum, redwood, and other single-seeded fruit trees which are all poisonous. Cedar is also dangerous due to its aromatic oils.</span> However, the House Rabbit Society notes that toxic branches such peach and apricot branches are safe after a month or more of drying after cutting.<ref>House Rabbit Society, [http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/chewing.html#toxic FAQ: Chewing > Aren't some woods toxic?]</ref>
** Try to collect branches from plants that are not near road pollution and have not been treated with pesticides. You may wish to freeze branches before giving them to your rabbits to kill any bugs or wash them in the shower.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

* Carpet scraps - Be careful if you already have carpet in your place. This may end up backfiring as your rabbits may not be able to understand that only certain locations of carpet are appropriate to dig in.
* Grass objects - [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Mat-Rabbits/dp/B0009YD810/ mats] and [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Pet-Bed/dp/B0009YD81K/ beds]
* Straw mats.
* Sisal mats.
* Jeans, towels, or blankets held under a heavy object to prevent motion when digging.
* Cardboard boxes - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.
__TOC__
[[File:CampNibblerMonicaStuck1.jpg|right|thumb|<span class="red">NOTE:</span> When purchasing toys for your rabbit make sure they are safe! This is Monica stuck in her hidy house bought from 'Pets at Home' in the UK. She had to be extracted at the vets office. Picture © and used with direct permission from [http://www.campnibble.com/ Camp Nibble.]|200px]]
== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

[[File:BaoBao cottontail cottage.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit playing on top of a Cottontail Cottage with ramp.|200px]]
* '''Toilet paper rolls''' with all the toilet paper and glue removed. You can also stuff the tube with hay, pellets, and vegetables to make it a puzzle feeder.
* '''Cardboard boxes''' - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.
** Cats & Rabbits & More, [http://www.catsandrabbitsandmore.com/cottontail_cottages/ Cottontail Cottages] - These are custom-made cardboard forts made by Cats & Rabbits & More, an LA rabbit rescue. They are also available through many other local rabbit rescue stores.

* '''Paper bags''' filled with hay and treats.
* Untreated '''willow''' and '''wicker''' objects - [http://www.amazon.com/Ware-Natural-Willow-Munch-Sticks/dp/B002ZSIHFA/ sticks], [http://www.amazon.com/Ware-Manufacturing-Willow-Branch-4-Inch/dp/B003XV5E9U/ balls], [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Rabbit-Small-Animal-Chew/dp/B000TZ8VAC/ rings], [http://www.amazon.com/OXBOW-PET-PRODUCTS-448153-Bungalow/dp/B001L43MFE/ huts], [http://www.amazon.com/Busy-Bunny-Willow-Tunnel-Unpeeled/dp/B006X3H5F6/ tunnels], baskets, hampers, etc. Varnish and bleach are a concern because most rabbits will also eat willow.
* Fresh or dried untreated '''lumber''' and '''branches'''. [[File:Talyad sapphire applebranch munch.jpg|thumb|right|A French Lop rabbit munching on fresh apple tree branches.|200px]]
** <span class="red">Make sure to avoid sticks from cherry, peach, apricot, plum, redwood, and other single-seeded fruit trees which are all poisonous.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

[[File:Luna dig.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit digging on a seagrass mat.]]
* Carpet scraps - Be careful if you already have carpet in your place. This may end up backfiring as your rabbits may not be able to understand that only certain locations of carpet are appropriate to dig in.
* Grass objects - [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Mat-Rabbits/dp/B0009YD810/ mats] and [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Pet-Bed/dp/B0009YD81K/ beds]
* Straw mats.
* Sisal mats.
* Jeans, towels, or blankets held under a heavy object to prevent motion when digging.
* Cardboard boxes - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.

== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

* '''Toilet paper rolls''' with all the toilet paper and glue removed. You can also stuff the tube with hay, pellets, and vegetables to make it a puzzle feeder.
* '''Cardboard boxes''' - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.
** Cats & Rabbits & More, [http://www.catsandrabbitsandmore.com/cottontail_cottages/ Cottontail Cottages] - These are custom-made cardboard forts made by Cats & Rabbits & More, an LA rabbit rescue. They are also available through many other local rabbit rescue stores.

* Fresh or dried untreated '''lumber''' and '''branches'''. [[File:Talyad sapphire applebranch munch.jpg|thumb|right|A French Lop rabbit munching on fresh apple tree branches.|200px]]
** <span class="red">Make sure to avoid sticks from cherry, peach, apricot, plum, redwood, and other single-seeded fruit trees which are all poisonous. Cedar is also dangerous due to its aromatic oils.</span> However, the House Rabbit Society notes that toxic branches such peach and apricot branches are safe after a month or more of drying after cutting.<ref>House Rabbit Society, [http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/chewing.html#toxic FAQ: Chewing > Aren't some woods toxic?]</ref>
** Try to collect branches from plants that are not near road pollution and have not been treated with pesticides. You may wish to freeze branches before giving them to your rabbits to kill any bugs or wash them in the shower.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

[[File:Luna dig.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit digging on a seagrass mat.]]
* Carpet scraps - Be careful if you already have carpet in your place. This may end up backfiring as your rabbits may not be able to understand that only certain locations of carpet are appropriate to dig in.
* Grass objects - [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Mat-Rabbits/dp/B0009YD810/ mats] and [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Pet-Bed/dp/B0009YD81K/ beds]
* Straw mats.
* Sisal mats.
* Jeans, towels, or blankets held under a heavy object to prevent motion when digging.

__TOC__
Rabbits are unable to sweat or pant effectively to dissipate body heat.<ref name="torm">Frances Harcourt-Brown, [http://www.amazon.com/Textbook-Rabbit-Medicine-Frances-Harcourt-Brown/dp/0750640022 ''Textbook of Rabbit Medicine''], 2002.</ref> The main thermoregulatory mechanism is by heat exchange in the ears.

In general, rabbits are much less heat tolerant than cold tolerant. Temperatures of over 85°F can easily cause [[heatstroke]] in a rabbit, especially when humid. The ideal temperature range for rabbits is 55-72°F.<ref name="arbarecommendation">ARBA, [https://www.arba.net/PDFs/CAW.pdf ARBA Recommendations for the Care of Rabbits and Cavies]</ref><ref name="exotictech">Bonnie Ballard and Ryan Cheek, [http://www.amazon.com/Exotic-Animal-Medicine-Veterinary-Technician/dp/0813822068/ Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician], 2010.</ref> As a result, during hot days in the summer, it is important to monitor your rabbits to insure comfort and health. However, rabbits can adapt to temperatures outside of this range with appropriate environmental conditioning.<ref name="arbarecommendation"/>

== How can I keep my rabbit cool? ==
The following are some tips and methods to keep your rabbit from overheating:

* Make sure that there is plenty of shady space in your rabbit's [[Housing|housing enclosure]] that is out of direct sunlight '''at all times of the day'''.
* Keep your '''air conditioning''' on at around 72°F for the comfort of your rabbit.
* Set up a '''[http://www.amazon.com/Lasko-3733-20-Fan-Box/dp/B00002ND67/ circulating fan]''' that will blow the air around your rabbit without blowing directly on him. Hanging a damp towel in front of the fan will also produce cooler air. Make sure that you bunny-proof the fan cord.
* Place a '''ceramic, stone, or marble tile''' within access of your rabbit. The tile will remain much cooler than the air around it. These can easily be bought for <$2 a tile at home improvement stores such as Lowes and Home Depot. Marble tile is the coolest out of all the types.
* Mist or lightly '''dampen your rabbit's [[ears]]'''. Rabbits do not sweat and use their ears to regulate their body temperature.
* Remember to regularly '''[[brush]] your rabbit's fur'''. Extra loose fur provides unnecessary insulation in the summer months. If you have a long-haired rabbit, consider [[Grooming#Trimming Fur|trimming their coat]] shorter.
* Place a few '''ice cubes or frozen juice cubes''' in your rabbit's water crock to give them a cool source of water to drink or container to lie against.
* Fill large plastic bottles and jugs (e.g. 1L soda bottles, milk jugs, juice bottles) or tupperware containers with water and '''freeze''' them. Once frozen, place them in your rabbit's housing enclosure so that he can lie against them to stay cool. Have more than one on hand to rotate out. Some rabbits also like licking the condensation off the containers. Others enjoy it better when there is a towel over the frozen container.
* Feed your rabbit plenty of '''wet [[vegetables]]''' to make sure he is getting enough hydration.
* Place a '''frozen ice pack or water bottle''' on top of a [http://www.amazon.com/Allied-Precision-Industries-SDC16TC-DuraCotta/dp/B007IHJPQS/ terra cotta plant saucer] to keep the dish cold without leakage everywhere.<ref>Etherbun, [https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/etherbun/conversations/topics/161439 Hot weather ideas- new photo album]</ref>

Keep an eye out for older (5+ yrs), overweight, or incapacitated rabbits. Because of their tendencies to be sedentary, they may not get up to drink water when they are too hot and can easily succumb to dehydration.<ref name="hrsfaq">House Rabbit Society, [http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/warm-weather.html FAQ: Warm Weather Concerns]</ref>

== Heat stroke ==
{{Main|[[Heat Stroke]]}}
Heat stress and heat stroke is a serious risk in temperatures above 85°F. If your rabbit shows signs of heat stroke, '''contact your vet immediately.''' Do not submerge him in cold water because it may place the rabbit in shock. Only lightly dampen his ears with cool water.

To prevent it, make sure your rabbits have shade and plenty of cool water. Consider moving the hutch to a breezy garage or patio with a fan.

<span class="red">If your rabbit has been outdoors and in extreme heat, do not move your rabbit indoors to an air-conditioned area immediately as it may be too much of an acute environmental stressor.<ref name="exotictech">Bonnie Ballard and Ryan Cheek, [http://www.amazon.com/Exotic-Animal-Medicine-Veterinary-Technician/dp/0813822068/ Exotic Animal Medicine for the Veterinary Technician], 2010.</ref></span>

== Flystrike ==
{{Main|[[Flystrike]]}}
If your rabbit has a dirty bottom in warm weather, flystrike is a serious danger regardless of health or age.

Agility with rabbits

2015-08-19T19:00:58Z

Teefanief: /* Further reading */

{{incomplete}}
Rabbit agility started in Europe and has gradually spread across the world. Rabbits can be taught a course consisting of jumps, hoops, A-Frames, Teeter-totters, and much more. Equipment can be purchased, put together from materials from a hardware store, or simply dowels sitting on top of two platforms.

Not all rabbits will like agility, but many enjoy the activity. It is a great bonding experience for the rabbit and owner.

Equipment can be purchased, put together from materials from a hardware store, or simply dowels sitting on top of two platforms.

Not all rabbits will like agility, but many enjoy the activity. It is a great bonding experience for the rabbit and owner.

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.

== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

[[File:Luna dig.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit digging on a seagrass mat.]]
* Carpet scraps - Be careful if you already have carpet in your place. This may end up backfiring as your rabbits may not be able to understand that only certain locations of carpet are appropriate to dig in.
* Grass objects - [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Mat-Rabbits/dp/B0009YD810/ mats] and [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Pet-Bed/dp/B0009YD81K/ beds]

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.
__TOC__
[[File:CampNibblerMonicaStuck1.jpg|right|thumb|<span class="red">NOTE:</span> When purchasing toys for your rabbit make sure they are safe!

== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

[[File:BaoBao cottontail cottage.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit playing on top of a Cottontail Cottage with ramp.|200px]]
* '''Toilet paper rolls''' with all the toilet paper and glue removed. You can also stuff the tube with hay, pellets, and vegetables to make it a puzzle feeder.
* '''Cardboard boxes''' - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.
** Cats & Rabbits & More, [http://www.catsandrabbitsandmore.com/cottontail_cottages/ Cottontail Cottages] - These are custom-made cardboard forts made by Cats & Rabbits & More, an LA rabbit rescue. They are also available through many other local rabbit rescue stores.

* Fresh or dried untreated '''lumber''' and '''branches'''. [[File:Talyad sapphire applebranch munch.jpg|thumb|right|A French Lop rabbit munching on fresh apple tree branches.|200px]]
** <span class="red">Make sure to avoid sticks from cherry, peach, apricot, plum, redwood, and other single-seeded fruit trees which are all poisonous. Cedar is also dangerous due to its aromatic oils.</span> However, the House Rabbit Society notes that toxic branches such peach and apricot branches are safe after a month or more of drying after cutting.<ref>House Rabbit Society, [http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/chewing.html#toxic FAQ: Chewing > Aren't some woods toxic?]</ref>
** Try to collect branches from plants that are not near road pollution and have not been treated with pesticides. You may wish to freeze branches before giving them to your rabbits to kill any bugs or wash them in the shower.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

[[File:Luna dig.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit digging on a seagrass mat.]]
* Carpet scraps - Be careful if you already have carpet in your place. This may end up backfiring as your rabbits may not be able to understand that only certain locations of carpet are appropriate to dig in.
* Grass objects - [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Mat-Rabbits/dp/B0009YD810/ mats] and [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Pet-Bed/dp/B0009YD81K/ beds]
* Straw mats.

Training a rabbit

2015-08-19T18:51:20Z

Teefanief: /* Tricks */

{{FAQ|[[Training FAQ]]}}
Rabbits learn exceptionally well with positive reinforcement based training. This can include methods such as clicker training and lure/reward training. In both cases, the rabbit will receive a reward, usually a small food reward for completing good behavior. Owners can teach their bunnies interesting and complex behaviors for fun ("tricks") but also teach them things such as accepting nail clipping, grooming, handling, and management behaviors such as going home on cue or coming when called.
__TOC__
== Benefits ==
* Bunnies start to view their owners as the source of good things instead of the "enforcer" or a scary person that puts an end to their fun.
* Increases your bunnies confidence around their owners and makes them less shy.
* Good management behaviors such as going home with cues or coming when called decreases the need to chase down and catch a bunny (which can make them less accepting of handling).

== Tools ==
For clicker training, all you need are the following:

* A rabbit to train.
* A clicker. We would suggest using a quieter clicker such as [http://www.amazon.com/Karen-i-Click-Training-Clicker-Clickers/dp/B002LAS2KW/ the i-Click Clicker] or the [http://bunnyapproved.com/product/trixie-soft-clicker-for-clicker-training/ Trixie Soft Clicker for Clicker Training] so that the noise will not startle your rabbit.
* Bag of treats. These treats should be in very small pieces so that you can feed many of them in one session. Pellets and small pieces of carrot or celery are easy to have on hand.

A clicker is not completely necessary since you can also train your rabbit to respond to a verbal cue such as "Yes!" However, humans tend not to be consistent with their verbal cues like a mechanical sound with tone and inflection. Consistency is key when clicker training. Flicking the clip of a pen cap or clicking your tongue against the roof of your mouth would also work.

A book devoted to the subject that you can also buy is [http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Started-Clicking-Your-Rabbit/dp/1890948233/ Getting Started: Clicking with Your Rabbit] by Joan Orr and Teresa Lewin.

For luring, no clicker is needed. However, you may need to be more creative with teaching the rabbit tricks as it will be more imprecise at marking what specific behavior you are asking from your rabbit.

== Rules ==
[[File:Sneakydragon luna standing pellets.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit in a begging position waiting to be rewarded with pellets.]]
Clicker training with a rabbit is rather straightforward. The clicker is used to mark the specific behavior that you wish your rabbit to repeat. You '''must''' treat your rabbit with food or another tangible reward such as toys and attention every time you click to insure that your rabbit will associate the click with something desirable and want to work with you. Do not use the clicker to grab a rabbit's attention; that is not the purpose of a clicker.

Most rabbits will learn to play along happily when using pellets or small pieces of carrot or celery as a treat. Identify the best reward for your rabbit by seeing what makes it happy. For food rewards, mix multiple types of food in a small bowl and see what your rabbit picks out to eat first. The best treats to use are small in size and can be consumed quickly. Make sure that your treats are "good" and insure that it is more interesting to the rabbit than any distractions in the vicinity. Use a variety of treats to keep it interesting and use "jackpots" of larger or special treats to reward especially good performance. Be sure that your rabbit is healthy and has free access to hay and water at all times.

To start clicker training, reward any sort of movement with a click and an immediate treat. Treats should be fed within 5 seconds of the click. However, if your rabbit is hesitant at accepting food from your hand, place the treat on the floor near you first. Click immediately when you see the rabbit pick up the treat to eat. Eventually, focus on one specific action such as lifting a paw to click and treat. Your rabbit will quickly learn to repeat this behavior to get a click.

Once a rabbit has been reliably offering a specific behavior to earn your click, a cue can be added at the same time the behavior is happening. This can be a hand gesture, a word, an object, or anything that a rabbit can discriminate. Then, when offering the cue can reliably result in your rabbit doing the expected behavior, the clicker can slowly be faded out by using it less frequently yet still every once in a while to keep the behavior strong.

Do not rush to complete each step of learning a trick. The longer you reinforce a trick with a click and treat, the more likely the rabbit will remember and repeat it. If a rabbit seems to have forgotten an old trick, start over from the beginning, and the trick will be back in your rabbit's repertoire usually more quickly than the first time.

Rabbits who are advanced at the clicker game will learn to offer behaviors to earn a click and treat. You can also work at shaping behaviors with your rabbit where you incrementally develop a behavior one step at a time. Clicker training can be used slowly raise the criteria of a trick to earn a treat. For instance, if you would like your rabbit to beg, first reward for any feet off the ground and then only reward for both paws off the ground. The key to shaping is ignoring any behavior that you don't want and only reward the behaviors that are close to what you want. If the rabbit is not meeting your criteria to earn a click when it gets more specific, don't hesitate to go back a step and reward for something easier. If your rabbit makes too many mistakes and doesn't earn a treat, he will likely get frustrated and not want to play anymore.

Keep training sessions to 5 minutes or shorter to insure that you keep your rabbit's attention, and try to end each session on a high note. If that is not possible, quit while you are ahead.

=== Come ===
# Stand a little bit away from your rabbit. Kneel down and say "NAME, come!" If the rabbit makes any motion to move towards you, click. Treat when they get to you.
# Move and repeat. Move further and further away as your rabbit gets better at responding to the call. Try going around corners and hiding behind furniture.
# Slowly fade out treats and clicks so that you will only need to say the command to have your rabbit check in with you from where it is.

=== Target Training ===
Rabbits can be taught to follow or touch a target for a treat. This target can be used to shape other more complex behaviors such as jumping over an object. You can use your palm as a target or an object such as a target stick, ping pong ball at the end of a chopstick, a margarine container lid, or anything else that is large enough for a rabbit to easily see and touch. Remember that rabbits have a 10 degree blind spot in front of their nose so make sure you use a target that is larger than that.

# Hold out the target. Click for any attention given to the target, whether it be a head movement, nosing, bumping, or licking. Give a treat after the click. Repeat multiple times by moving the target around close to the rabbit's face.
# Move the target in various positions around the head -- to the left, right, above, and below. Click and treat for any touches to the target.
# Hold the target further away from the rabbit and reward for hopping towards it. Click after the rabbit has started hopping to enforce the movement as what you are expecting.
# See if you can get the rabbit to reach for the target in various positions such as high above his head or on the ground. Make sure to build the behavior in small steps to make it easy to earn a treat. Remember to keep sessions short to under 5 minutes to keep the rabbit interested in playing.
# When your rabbit is eagerly following the target around, make the criteria harder and harder. Only reward for nose touches to the target and not the side of the face or a paw. Ask for two or three touches before clicking. Move the target around for a longer period of time and click if he takes multiple steps.

=== Beg ===
# Hold a treat above their head. Click immediately once they raise their front paws off the ground and treat.
# Slowly raise expectations, and don't click until they're begging completely upright.
# Once they beg reliably with a hand cue without a treat, start adding in your verbal cue "beg." Say "NAME, beg!" then give the hand cue. Click and reward once they're begging upright.
# Slowly fade out the hand signal and give only the verbal cue. Click and reward for success. Eventually, you can also fade out the clicker.

You can also work at shaping behaviors with your rabbit where you incrementally develop a behavior one step at a time. Clicker training can be used slowly raise the criteria of a trick to earn a treat. For instance, if you would like your rabbit to beg, first reward for any feet off the ground and then only reward for both paws off the ground. The key to shaping is ignoring any behavior that you don't want and only reward the behaviors that are close to what you want. If the rabbit is not meeting your criteria to earn a click when it gets more specific, don't hesitate to go back a step and reward for something easier. If your rabbit makes too many mistakes and doesn't earn a treat, he will likely get frustrated and not want to play anymore.

Keep training sessions to 5 minutes or shorter to insure that you keep your rabbit's attention, and try to end each session on a high note. If that is not possible, quit while you are ahead.

=== Come ===
# Stand a little bit away from your rabbit. Kneel down and say "NAME, come!" If the rabbit makes any motion to move towards you, click. Treat when they get to you.
# Move and repeat. Move further and further away as your rabbit gets better at responding to the call. Try going around corners and hiding behind furniture.
# Slowly fade out treats and clicks so that you will only need to say the command to have your rabbit check in with you from where it is.

=== Target Training ===
Rabbits can be taught to follow or touch a target for a treat. This target can be used to shape other more complex behaviors such as jumping over an object. You can use your palm as a target or an object such as a target stick, ping pong ball at the end of a chopstick, a margarine container lid, or anything else that is large enough for a rabbit to easily see and touch. Remember that rabbits have a 10 degree blind spot in front of their nose so make sure you use a target that is larger than that.

# Hold out the target. Click for any attention given to the target, whether it be a head movement, nosing, bumping, or licking. Give a treat after the click. Repeat multiple times by moving the target around close to the rabbit's face.
# Move the target in various positions around the head -- to the left, right, above, and below. Click and treat for any touches to the target.
# Hold the target further away from the rabbit and reward for hopping towards it. Click after the rabbit has started hopping to enforce the movement as what you are expecting.
# See if you can get the rabbit to reach for the target in various positions such as high above his head or on the ground. Make sure to build the behavior in small steps to make it easy to earn a treat. Remember to keep sessions short to under 5 minutes to keep the rabbit interested in playing.
# When your rabbit is eagerly following the target around, make the criteria harder and harder. Only reward for nose touches to the target and not the side of the face or a paw. Ask for two or three touches before clicking. Move the target around for a longer period of time and click if he takes multiple steps.

=== Beg ===
# Hold a treat above their head. Click immediately once they raise their front paws off the ground and treat.
# Slowly raise expectations, and don't click until they're begging completely upright.
# Once they beg reliably with a hand cue without a treat, start adding in your verbal cue "beg." Say "NAME, beg!" then give the hand cue. Click and reward once they're begging upright.
# Slowly fade out the hand signal and give only the verbal cue. Click and reward for success. Eventually, you can also fade out the clicker.

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.
__TOC__
[[File:CampNibblerMonicaStuck1.jpg|right|thumb|<span class="red">NOTE:</span> When purchasing toys for your rabbit make sure they are safe!

== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

[[File:BaoBao cottontail cottage.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit playing on top of a Cottontail Cottage with ramp.|200px]]
* '''Toilet paper rolls''' with all the toilet paper and glue removed. You can also stuff the tube with hay, pellets, and vegetables to make it a puzzle feeder.
* '''Cardboard boxes''' - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.
** Cats & Rabbits & More, [http://www.catsandrabbitsandmore.com/cottontail_cottages/ Cottontail Cottages] - These are custom-made cardboard forts made by Cats & Rabbits & More, an LA rabbit rescue. They are also available through many other local rabbit rescue stores.

* Fresh or dried untreated '''lumber''' and '''branches'''. [[File:Talyad sapphire applebranch munch.jpg|thumb|right|A French Lop rabbit munching on fresh apple tree branches.|200px]]
** <span class="red">Make sure to avoid sticks from cherry, peach, apricot, plum, redwood, and other single-seeded fruit trees which are all poisonous.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

Rabbit toys come in many varieties, and different rabbits prefer different types depending on their individual personalities. Many rabbits enjoy purchased toys, but they can also prefer simple things around the house like paper towel tubes or cardboard boxes. The lists below can help you find a nice surprise gift for your rabbit to celebrate a special occasion.
__TOC__
[[File:CampNibblerMonicaStuck1.jpg|right|thumb|<span class="red">NOTE:</span> When purchasing toys for your rabbit make sure they are safe! This is Monica stuck in her hidy house bought from 'Pets at Home' in the UK. She had to be extracted at the vets office.

== Chewing toys ==
These toys also have the benefit of wearing down your rabbit's teeth. These toys can also be thrown. Chew toys should also be edible toys to prevent poisoning.

[[File:BaoBao cottontail cottage.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit playing on top of a Cottontail Cottage with ramp.|200px]]
* '''Toilet paper rolls''' with all the toilet paper and glue removed. You can also stuff the tube with hay, pellets, and vegetables to make it a puzzle feeder.
* '''Cardboard boxes''' - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.
** Cats & Rabbits & More, [http://www.catsandrabbitsandmore.com/cottontail_cottages/ Cottontail Cottages] - These are custom-made cardboard forts made by Cats & Rabbits & More, an LA rabbit rescue. They are also available through many other local rabbit rescue stores.

* Fresh or dried untreated '''lumber''' and '''branches'''. [[File:Talyad sapphire applebranch munch.jpg|thumb|right|A French Lop rabbit munching on fresh apple tree branches.|200px]]
** <span class="red">Make sure to avoid sticks from cherry, peach, apricot, plum, redwood, and other single-seeded fruit trees which are all poisonous. Cedar is also dangerous due to its aromatic oils.</span> However, the House Rabbit Society notes that toxic branches such peach and apricot branches are safe after a month or more of drying after cutting.<ref>House Rabbit Society, [http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/chewing.html#toxic FAQ: Chewing > Aren't some woods toxic?]</ref>
** Try to collect branches from plants that are not near road pollution and have not been treated with pesticides. You may wish to freeze branches before giving them to your rabbits to kill any bugs or wash them in the shower.

== Digging toys ==
Female rabbits tend to love digging as they are usually the ones to do the tunneling for burrows in the wild.<ref>Wildpro, The Mammal Society, [http://wildpro.twycrosszoo.org/S/00Ref/MiscellaneousContents/Mammal_Society/15Oryctolagus_cuniculus.htm THE RABBIT Oryctolagus cuniculus]</ref> Digging also wears out a bunny's nails.

[[File:Luna dig.jpg|thumb|right|Rabbit digging on a seagrass mat.]]
* Carpet scraps - Be careful if you already have carpet in your place. This may end up backfiring as your rabbits may not be able to understand that only certain locations of carpet are appropriate to dig in.
* Grass objects - [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Mat-Rabbits/dp/B0009YD810/ mats] and [http://www.amazon.com/Peters-Woven-Grass-Pet-Bed/dp/B0009YD81K/ beds]
* Straw mats.
* Sisal mats.
* Jeans, towels, or blankets held under a heavy object to prevent motion when digging.
* Cardboard boxes - You can combine multiple boxes with doors and holes cut out to make massive forts for endless fun. Remember to remove all tape, staples, and labels.
* Paper bag, plastic hamper or tub, litter box, or cardboard box filled with hay, soil, litter, or ripped newspaper.
* Phone books with the plastic outer cover removed.

== Throwing toys ==
[[File:Totallyplatypus josephine stackingcups back.jpg|thumb|right|A black lionhead rabbit with some baby stack-up cups on her back.]]
Some rabbits like throwing and tossing objects with their mouths. Others like the noise that they can make. Many of the chewing toys listed above can also be thrown if they are a small enough size.
