Agility for bunnies

You guys ever seen this? It's hilarious to me.

NO WAY!!
I thought it was a joke but it's not.

Funny and cute.
:popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn: :popcorn:

Thanks for the entertainment.


I got the impression that the last bunny would have hopped for the door and never returned if it hadn't been on leash. :)
That was pretty good! I really liked the long jump bunny :clappurple:
wow, gonna start my daughters bunny now!!!! :yay:
Actually there is a club here in Minnesota----

I ran into a couple of 'rabbit" people at a Delta Society therapy meeting last year. They do therapy visits with their rabbits as well as agility. Although different and a little odd to me, it was interesting. They all seemed quite passionate about it.
That was so ridiculous!!! Great stuff!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:
I've emailed that to all my friends and told them that due to my hip injury I'm taking up a new sport. Hehehehe now to wait for their responses. :sidestep:
I love the obvious pep talks that the one bunny gets before his jumps. I guess it worked though. Anyone else notice that the "crowd" for this major event consisted of about 15 people? :lol:

Yes I did. I showed my husband and was giving a running commentary including silly things like "the huge crowd of 15 goes wild" and i was pretending to give the pep talks. He always new I was nuts but he looked at me and said "only you would find that video amusing!" I was able to say "no me and some sheepie people" :lol: :lol:
lighten up wayne. :cheer:
i'm gonna videotape bon herding and post. yep, i said herding. 8)
How was the last bunny the winner? He had several stops or refusals.

I am always taken abackwhen I see other species doing agility. There is at least one video on youtube of hamster agility. I don't think it's a sanctioned competition, but it's hilarious.
I imagine the level of the bunny's is not as high as the levels of championship dogs can attain, so I'm sure stops and refusals are much more frequent then they would be with dogs competing at a championship level. Bunnys are adorable, but they don't have the smarts and capability of dogs. It is a very sweet video. One thing, the whole back wall looked like it was made up of bunny cages? That's a lot of bunnies!
Cute Video. I don't really get the whole event though.
I have 2 bunnies, Peanut & Baxter. They run free around our house. Well, now that Howie is here we keep them mostly in the TV room. Great little pets with huge personality. They can do a few tricks, and know a few signs.
But I can't fathom putting them in a pet carrier and taking them places. I do that only to go to the vet.
Bunnies tend to be very sensitive. Going to a strange place with cheering crowds, no wonder those bunnies are running fast over the hurdles! Maybe I'm wrong they may like the activity. Who knows?

Peanut (white bunny) is my climber, most mornings I find her laying on my desk, tossing papers down to Baxter to chew! :twitch:

Life is pretty good, just hanging out. :hearts:

My first thought was the owners are holding the bunnies back by being so slow. I thought a couple of refusals were do to the owners not keeping up, which meant the bunnies didn't get the steps & speed needed before the jump.

And I'm going to look for the hamster agility vidoes.
