        Hi all,

        Hoping for some training tips for my rabbit, we have 2 house rabbits one male and one female. The male belongs to my younger sister, and the female belongs to me.

        She is a hybrid and absolutely lovely, originally brought to keep the male company, and they are now best of friends. However she is a very mischievous little bunny. She has a habit of knocking over your tea so she can drink it, stealing food off your plate, stealing the cats food and many other little behaviour bugs.

        I need to stop her doing this as my parents will sell her as they end up locking them both in their cage and feel it is unfair on both of them. I have a month to train her and I really do not want to sell her so I am desperate for some help.

        Please, please help!

        Thanks in advance

        Sasha

          The easiest solution is to keep those things away from her reach in the first place. You can’t rely on training her to not eat things she shouldn’t, for her own safety she needs to be unable to get to such things.

          You can train to some degree with a clicker, but again – don’t rely solely on that to stop her getting into things she shouldn’t. Bunnies aren’t the most obedient. And bunnies learn at different paces. A month may not be long enough.

            She is doing normal bunny things. You can “No” every time she tries to do something she shouldnt, but it might take more than a month to train her the word “No”. Otherwise, its up to you and your family to bunnyproof the room they are allowed in. No wires, no human food, no drinks where bunnies can reach, ect. If your family isnt willing to work with the bunnies and isnt willing to change their home, you shouldnt have bunnies anyway as it is unsafe.

            Dont put the two bunnies together if neither are spayed or neutered. They will make babies, and probably fight. Hopefully your parents are not putting them in the same cage.
