I got my rabbit about 6 months ago. It's not trained and i dont kno how. I tried giving it treats when she does tricks but SHE NEVER DOES ANY TRICKS! How do i train her to sit, lay down, and all the basic things?

SHES NOT A DOG, so do NOT treat her like one, would you like it if someone mae you lay on your back and forced you to sit on a cold floor???
NO, DIDNT THINK SO!!!!!

I have owned many rabbits, and several of my friends have their own rabbitries. Rabbits do not respond to basic commands like that, dogs may, but rabbits don't. Also, do not give rabbits too many treats, it can interfear with digestion, if you do give treats, make it only carrots or apples, lettuce or cabbage has no nutritional value. If you need better answers, try buying the book "Your Rabbit, A Kid's Guide to Raising and Showing" you can buy it used from Amazon.com for about $3. If you want expert advice, I have an email address for a big rabbitry owner in North Dakota, I email her often with questions, and she helps so much. Her name is Sarah, and you can email her at

It will probably be really hard to train a rabbit to do these tricks. Maybe it will be easiest for you to hire a professional trainer. If you can't find anybody in your area, ask at the local pet shops. If you want to do it yourself, you can look it up online or buy a book on it.

ok ive owned 4 rabbits. Sorry, but theyre not dogs. You cant train a rabbit to sit or lay.
Mine were all litter trained tho, and thats pretty easy to do. You only do this if they have any area to roam. Just set the litter pan in a corner with like pine/cedar chips in it. They pick up on it pretty quick!
You can get them to come to you, by calling their name, but thats about all a rabbit is capable of doing.

Rabbits don't really lay down.. or sit.. they crouch and it's like sit and lay all in one. That and rabbits really aren't very smart.. they don't really do tricks. Sorry for the bad news.. my rabbit was just content bouncing around and eating grass. You can get rabbit leashes at like.. petco so you can hold him and let him jump around and eat grass in your yard. Rabbits also really like it if you give them like the leftovers from a salad at dinner. Just some advice. Also, you need to put some wood or something in there because they have to chew down their teeth somehow, because they'll keep growing and that can be a serious problem.

Well i have a rabbit and they do what they want to do when they want to do. With rabitts just sit at the cage and have a soft toned voice. talk to it and become friends. If that doesn't work come for more advise. hope that helps!!

rabbits cant be trained

I had a rabbit for about 5 years... I found after about a week of trying to train him, that you can't train a rabbit.
Out of most common house pets (cats, dogs, fish, etc.) Only dogs can be trained highly. Rabbits are just supposed to be cute... Something to hold and pet.
But as far as I know, it is near impossible to train a rabbit.

1. Always use positive feedback; praise your rabbit. Do not criticize, scold, or hit; this will only serve to alienate your rabbit.
2. Speak softly and gently to your rabbit to induce him to listen to you.
3. Use repetition. For example, when you want to litter box train your rabbit, you might say the following while letting the rabbit smell the contents of the litter box: 'Do pebbles, Smokey. Do pebbles.' Or 'Do puddle, Smokey. Do puddle.'
4. Don't force your rabbit to do something. Just guide him and let him go, if he resists or tries to hop away.
5. Spend at least an hour or two each day for one or two weeks working on the new behavior with your rabbit.
6. Remember that rabbits are rabbits. They are not cats or dogs or any other animal, so they will not act like any other animal. They will only manifest rabbit behavior.
Tips:
Sit on the floor with your rabbit for one to two hours everyday for one or two weeks and gently remind your rabbit of the behavior you want him to learn.
Sometimes rabbits unlearn a habit and you may have to retrain them.
Praise your rabbit lavishly, and avoid scolding, so you don't alienate your rabbit.

Litter Training Your Rabbit by Margaret D.
When I was litter training my bunny I put some of her droppings in the litter box so she would know to go there, and in a few days she was going on her own.
Where to put the litter tray by will V.
When you first get your rabbit he isn't trained to how you want him to be. So a nice way to start off with you rabbit is to put the litter tray where he first starts to do his business, from then on he will always put his waste in the litter tray.
