Training A rabbit

thekingof79

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on a trained rabbit or perhaps a person who could train a store bought rabbit. I need him soon for an upcoming film im making :cool:

biko

Eh, what is it you're looking for?

Edit, OP updated. I get it now.

thekingof79

I thought i was clear but I am in the market for a rabbit who could perhaps dance a little or maybe at least respond to basic commands

charlesanto

maybe post here , but be prepared for an earful from over sensitive animal rights dudes.

They're not in Galway but you could try here:

yeah could be a problem because film is a little dark and rabbit does come to an unfortunate end

biko

This is probably better off in Animals.
There will be a re-direct in Galway forum.

thanks for that...them rabbits that were in that fr.ted rabbit episode are hardly still alive would be great if they had a bit of acting experience

I think the OP has plans for a new food stand in the Christmas Market.

My rabbits come when you call them but thats it! Might stand up on their hind legs if you dangle a bit of food there. But would do anything for raisins....just a tip
It is v difficult to train rabbits. I have never seen a rabbit dance. They might binky (kinda twich uncontrolably) but its hard to predict, usually do it when I let them out in the morning.

this is kind of what im talking bout

Jeez be tough to get one that can talk with an American accent. Good luck though!!

I doubt if your'e going to be able to find one that's already trained. I think you'll have to put in a hell of a lot of hard work and time.

Found the only way they will learn is by punishing them wen dey do sumthin wrong and i know flickin der ears prob isnt very pc but it seems to work

Jinxi

Thats appalling.
I hope you get kicked in the genitalia whenever you do something wrong.

Rabbits will learn a routine like that if they are fed something they love. I bet the guy put some treats in the microphone. AS I said before, my two would sell their mother for rasins

thekingof79

They get fed enough already dont want dem ending up like other animal actors

Then feed them less food at 'meals'
