How to Get the Attention of a Rabbit

Getting a rabbit's attention can be tricky.

But with a few tricks, you can definitely do it.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Try clicker training and positive reinforcement: use sound cues and treats or playtime.
2. Use verbal and visual signals: rabbits have good eyesight and hearing, so make use of that.
3. Approach calmly and gently: sudden loud noises can scare them away.

5. Watch their body language: understand what makes them happy and comfortable.

Follow these steps to build trust and catch your rabbit's attention.
