how can i tame my rabbit

[sennefer]

ive had my rabbit for over a year now, and no matter how much time i spend with her she always runs away from me and catching her can take a while. Any ideas on what i can do to tame her

Have a look here: http://www.rabbit.org/chapters/san-diego/behavior/know_thumper.html

Also, don't try to catch her - it will only make her more scared of you. Let her come to you.

Good luck, and be patient!

We have had our rabbit Munchie (buck ) for a year now and he absolutely detests being picked up and will scratch to get down. we dont catch him either we just trained him to go in his cage when wanted although he can be stubborn sometimes. I find that if you sit on the floor with some goodies then they will soon approach you and you can pet them then. To get it into the cage or hutch its best to use a favorite nibble placed into the enclosure when they get in you repeat good boy/girl in your cage they soon learn that goodies are associated with doing good. good luck!
