That's pretty cool, and it doesn't appear they're not being hurt or anything, so it seems fine. I wouldn't know where to begin to teach a bunny to do that!

[Sehnsucht]

[baby-wilson]

they'd be like " and you expect me to jump that? get real "

[baby-wilson]

;D ;D ;D hehe

Hmm.. my bunny would probably be able to jump high enough to clear them, only problem is he has a habit of changing direction in mid air whenever he jumps - not the best thing for show jumping. Plus he'd probably wriggle out of the harness - he's learnt that if he puffs himself out when I put his harness on then he can usually wriggle out of it whilst on a walk.

No sorry not my idea of fun either. >:( Don't like the idea of making animals perform!! My bunny wouldn't be happy doing anything like that!!

My rabbit, Chip loves doing this ;D of course with her being a pet and not a 'profesional show jumper' i don't make her do anything she doesn't want to! And the jump isn't as high as the ones in the video...well no where near as high lol. Here she is in all her glory, and she's 7 years old and still enjoys it!!!!

awwwwwww great pics i personally think them jumps in the video are too high and wont do the rabbits legs any good when they land but your jumps look great!

[darkest.dreaming]

I dont have a problem, if the rabbit wants to do it and the jumps aren't high. But i think the ones in the vid are too high. :(
I like your pics Guinea-Tia-Flossie. :)

[Guinea-Tia-Flossie]

Yes you're right, they are too high in the video, mine are less than a foot high lol

[cocoandfudge]

did you make those yourself or did you buy them?

[Guinea-Tia-Flossie]

did you make those yourself or did you buy them?


I made it myself ;D

[baby-wilson]

wow! creative... i used to use a broomstick for my dogs to jump but of course they always went UNDER lol

your bunny is soo cute!!!

[katiep]

They are lovely pics! And Chip is a lovely bun. I can't see George our Dutch Bun doing that, he is far too willfull and always does the opposite of what you want, but our other bun Marble who we got a few weeks ago has been bouncing on and off the sofas and even the windowsill in our conservatory, so possibly a contender?! ;)

[latheylloyd]

love it!! wish my guineas could do that, as if!

[michellemuffin]

think they were much too high but Guinea Tia flossies were fine, did'nt realise buns could jump that high to be honest,
