Today's useless fact - Can you train a rabbit to come when you call it?

These techniques have been used by my family and my friends who have had bunnies of their own:

Rabbits can be trained to come when you call them, provided that you always give them a good reward when they do what you ask.

The best way to get a rabbit to come when you call her is to find out what her favorite treat is. Whether it's a piece of tomato or a chunk of melon, use this as your lure.

These easy steps will get your rabbit to come when called:

1. Get down on the floor close to your rabbit.

2. Offer the treat.

3. "[Say your rabbit's name], come!"

Your rabbit will see or smell the treat and will come toward you to get it. She doesn't know that you called her because she hasn't figured out this part yet, but if you repeat this routine over and over, she'll start to associate hearing you call her name and "Come!" with getting her favorite treat.

4. After your bunny consistently comes to you from this close distance, start to work from farther away.

Instead of being so close, squat several feet away from your pet. Offer out the food and call your rabbit's name and "Come!"

Some rabbits catch on more quickly than others, but within a few weeks, your rabbit should come to you just about every time that you call her. You may even be able to get her to come to you from another room. Check out the links in our Rabbit category for more.
