Yup, new pics of Captain Bunzee (29/2/00)
He's still not all that large though, is he?? I wish he didn't tend to look so depressed though!
I'm not sure about this!
RABBIT SHOW JUMPING
Rabbit show jumping is a very popular sport in Scandinavia, both with adults and with children. It has much media coverage. Although, today, the sport does not exist outside Scandinavia, it is thought that it is only a matter of time before it does.
On the subject of whether or not the sport is "cruel", it has been decided that it isn't, because rabbits like to jump!
To start training your rabbit (around 4 months is the ideal age), you do not need any special fences - but can make do with shoe-boxes, books etc. If, however, you find that your rabbit likes show jumping, then is would be perhaps nice to make some miniature versions of horse show jumping fences out of wood. Most rabbits can clear fences of up to 3 feet.
The first stage in training your rabbit is to acquaint it with the fence or obstacle by allowing it to sniff at it. Then place the rabbit in front of the fence, say the word "jump" and gently push its bottom. Most rabbits will soon get the idea. Slow learners will benefit from being gently lifted over the fence to begin with. However, although some rabbits learn quickly and others more slowly - some rabbits will not learn at all. You shouldn't persevere if your rabbit is not enjoying itself. Once the rabbit has jumped, praise it and offer a tidbit - then all you have to do is keep practising!
OK!!!!!
