OMG THAT is SOOO CUTE!! WOW

Hahah I love the bunny bum…then when he walks right up to the camera sOOO cute!!

How did you teach it? Just hold it further away when he’s up?

[Crayon]

basically he has his eye on the prize (raisin/carrot/pellet) and will try to reach it/get it as best he can. So it is a natural trick, no real teaching, I just hold up the treat

But I do this other thing where I take the treat and hold it out and move it around him so he is pretty much chasing it. Then, even if he is going fast, when I say walk he immediately stands up and walks! So he understands commands. Now if only he would do it even if the treat was not at his nose.. hehe.

The first command I noticed him pick up was ‘good boy’. This meant to him that the trick was complete and that he could then lunge wildly for the treat! Not the best thing to teach since the treat is in my hand! So yeah, now I try to say good boy even if it does not mean food in mouth and he is much better at keeping composed now. haha.

I have another video I am uploading to show you guys too! He is doing the chasing thing, but he is doing binkies at the same time <3

Aww that is so cute! He’s pretty, is he a rex? Lol, I’m partial to broken rexes

I saw a similar video on youtube of someone’s rabbit walking clear across the room on his hind legs a few weeks ago and I was inspired to try to train Leroy to do it! So far we’ve only gotten a couple shuffling steps though… he knows what I want him to do, so he complies for a step or two and then sits down and looks at me like “what’s the point, mom, I know you’re going to give me the treat anyway if I do this” *make’s cute begging face* hehehe. I have been able to teach him to spin in a circle for a treat though, so we’re getting there… Your bunny seems much more willing though! Lol.

Yes Barbie, he is a mini Rex.
Bunny really likes to do stuff like that, but not all the time. I pretty much do tricks and stuff with him when I notice he is bored or hungry and cruising the kitchen for fallen tid bits.
If he is sleepy or grumpy we don’t play, just snuggle.
