I would build a jump that is about 24" tall with the bars set about 2-3" apart. Start on a low height, about 2 bars. As he gets used to jumping, increase the height. It might take a while for him to be able to jump the full height, but you can just keep working on it. Remember that not all rabbits will jump as high on command as they will on their own. The current world record is 1 meter, but some rabbits can jump 48".
It would be a good idea to have a couple jumps so he can get used to doing them in sequence instead of one at a time.

I would also harness train him. The harness provides you some control to keep him focused and prevent him for running away. If you are working outside, this is especially important even if you have a fenced in yard. You might have to work with him so he accepts a harness, but some rabbit take to it quickly.

The most important thing is practise. You might get him to jump high once or twice, but if you don't keep it up he won't be doing it as much.

Really love the pictures. Rabbits are so darn smart--seems like they an be trained for just about anything.

Wow! I had never heard of bunny agility or bunny hopping as a sport! Gosh, if one of you with a bunny who does this could enter your bunny for Pet of the Day, we could educate a whole lot more people! How fun!

Mind you, Miss Hoppy never, ever would have consented to this. She HATED her harness with an all-abiding hate, and it disturbed her fur - put it o her and she immediately became immobile, just concerned with un-mussing her fur obsessively.

I've often thought about this, just as something fun to do with my boys. I don't think Willoughby would like it, but once Reuben got used to the idea, he might enjoy it. It might help him bond with me a bit better.:biggrin:First, of course, I have to find a good harness at a decent price.

If you have Freecycle in NZ, you might ask there! When Miss Hoppy passed away, I gave two harnesses - barely used - to the local shelter, or I'd send them to you! Other people whose rabbits are like Miss Hoppy - as in - who turn into a fur-covered brick when harness is put on - might have similar ones sitting unused!

Out of curiosity would a velveteen lop be at a disadvantage for this because of the ears?
I would love to teach my new bun this when I get him!
It's right up my ally.
I always wanted to do agility with a dog. But I don't have a dog. anic:

A lot would depend on the individual rabbit. English lops would trip over thier ears when running and the ears could knock the bars off. I don't think the V lops have as long ears, so it would depend on the rabbit. I would say that as long as the ears aren't dragging on the ground and don't get int the way then you could try it. Our club has a Canadian Plush lop which is similar to a V lop but he has shorter ears.

You pretty much has to bulid your own jumps. There is a website for per made jumps you can order, but they cost about $50-100 Canadian plus the shipping. They are located in Sweden or Denmark, so the shipping would be a lot. I have built a couple jumps for about $20 each including the bars and paint.

I dont have any fancy jumps though, and no rabbit clubs of any kind here(Peepers breeder cant even show his rabbits anymore beceause there are no longer any shows within a 12 hour drive!)

not show jumping, but shows thats she know various jumping patterns lol
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKYwyuG6KmM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKYwyuG6KmM[/ame]



even if there was comps or clubs here, are you allowed without a harness? Jenny doesnt do harness' I tried to train her to accept one, but she wont have it.

 

[Korr_and_Sophie]

The CRHC has a new Youtube account RabbitHopping. There are some videos from yesterday and it should be updated as we do more videos.

itsazoo- Most clubs do require a harness for safety. Some don't have fences around the course and it can be in an large building and some do it outside. Even though we have the course enclosed, we still require harnesses for the rabbits. Since there can be more that one rabbit on the course at a time (for races), we don't want anything to happen. Some can be hard to catch, so a harness does help.
You can work on your own without a harness, but competing or joining will require a harness.

even if there was comps or clubs here, are you allowed without a harness? Jenny doesnt do harness' I tried to train her to accept one, but she wont have it.

i think u do need a harnes because u need to leed ur bunny throught the jumps.

well that completly shuts down my dreams of ever doing anything outside the house with Jenny she wont leave for anything if I have food, but she wont look at me for days if she so much as lays eyes on a harness, she HATES them.

Ever since I found out about it I wanted to do it with a rabbit. But I haven't been able to find anywhere by me. I used to do it with my dogs.

Unfortunately, there are not a lot of clubs out there and many don't seem to advertise much. You can build your own jumps (not hard to do) and work at home. You might even be able to find other people who are interested and start your own club.

It is actually a lot easier then you would probably think. A lot of buns take to it right away! I think the mental stimulation is good for the buns and once they get the idea, it's actually harder to get them to stop!

I'm actually one of the founders for the club that Korr_and_Sophieis with, if anyone's interested, we're always looking for members :wink
