I can't seem to get my rabbit to want to go in my rabbit wringer. I've tryed everything from treats to plain old putting him in there. He just jumps out and squirms away. What should I do?

Thanks,
Gideon

Gideon,

Make sure your load chamber is large enough to hold the size rabbit you have. Also just go slow and easy when trying to put the rabbit in the load box, this will make the rabbit feel a little more comfortable as you get him use to his new responsiblty in your show.

I had a similar challenge. I put a little rolled up newspaper in the bottom and a a piece of cloth on top of that for comfort. OK, so I spoil my partners.
I also put a small brass latch on top. It served the purpose and looks great.

The problem is, he jumps out of my hand and kicks the second he sees it.

Rabbits are not, by nature, afraid of tight spaces. So he is frightened by the box for some other reason, you have to get him used to the box (load chamber.)

Try putting his favorite food in there and keep the chamber open. The food (or treat) will get him to feel safe about the chamber in time. It will need you to keep putting him down on the food (gently) for him to feel safe.

Once he understands the chamber is a safe place, you can go on with things.
