Stanley

Hey everybody, a couple days ago I put a collar on Stanley to see how he'd do.

He seemed to be fine with it, then when I put the leash on he startedfreaking out, and he was running under my bed and room then he ran inhis cage.

I waited a minute to calm him down, gave him an apple, then I was able to get the leash off and he was fine.

Does anybody know how to make him comfortable with it without hurting himself? Thanks

It was kind of funny too because he wouldn't let my mom put on the collar even when he was distracted by an apple.

She tried about 3 times with him in my lap, and he kept running off.Then with him on the floor, I put it on him the first time. I hope thatmeans he knows I'm his mommy.

Generally speaking, collars are really not safe for bunnies.

If they panic they could hurt themselves when wearing a collar.

I would use a harness instead. They are safe and more comfy for the bunnie.

Also, collars should not be left on when a rabbitis not being supervised. They can easily get their bottom jawstuck under the collar as they attempt to chew on it.

Okay thanks, we were just seeing if he would like it or not to start him walking on the leash.

I am not sure if you can train all of the bunniesto be ok with it, I am sure Chernish would be terrified. Although I wasthinking about it.
