cunfuzzled about bunnies

[Doglover10]

i was reading two diffrent things about bunnies and one said that u should let your bunny do what he wants (with boundries of corse) so he feels confedint and your should give him attention when ever he wants it and let him be in control

anouther thing was telling me that you should be in control, rather than your bunny and you have to train him to know that.

im confuzzled i was already doing the training to let my bunny know that im boss but then i read that other artical and i put the training on hold so i wanna know....wich one is right?

I personally think you should be in control, but don't treat him like a prisoner.

 

You have to train the animal to behave. You are the owner.

 

Wouldn't it be spoiling your Bunny if you gave him attention whenever he wanted it?

 

Go for the second one.

You should, of course, but don't treat him like a doll or anything. He's not. Love him, care for him, but be firm and don't often spoil him.

I'd go with the second one. Don't treat him like a criminal or anything like that. Try to keep the training lessons small so he doesn't get bored at all. Around 5-10 minutes sounds good. Also, spoil him in little tinsy bits. Like with treats, maybe little toys, or a cage accessory. Spend time with him When you can. Act like a parent to him/her.

With me and my rabbit, neither of us are really in control. I mean, I'm the one who chooses when he eats and comes out to play, but I don't control him. If he does something bad, yes, I will punish him (putting him back in his cage, tapping him on his nose, etc), but I don't force him to do anything. I just keep him from doing certain things.

You should try to be in control as much as possible, because if you aren't, your bunny will try to control you. Mine does that by peeing on me when he gets angry.

Be nice to him, though. Just don't let him push you around or let him do bad things.
