this is pretty impressive - i'm not gonna lie
Ok- I think my head just exploded. I never thought I'd see bunny show jumping, but...
I don't know what was more odd- the hurdles or the bunnies sitting calmly on leashes.
weeee bunny hoppage!
Next video: "Bunnies Unleashed"
Then: "Bunny Olympics - High Hurdles and Track"
And I only thought that cats could jump like that -- wow!
Bunny hoppage. Love It.
ridonk...just....wow.
Oh, Theo, thank you bunches!
I'd have never thought you could teach bunnehs tricks. But I just luv the way they stop, stare for a few seconds, then decide "Eh, I guess I'll just jump this one too."
That is so cute! I've NEVER seen anything like that!! AWESOME!
One word:
BOING.
What amazes me is if you compare the relative size of bunny vs. jump! To match their leaps, we would have to be able to jump over three- or four-story buildings.
Holy crap that is AMAZING!!!
Well I never.
Indeed Subhangi, indeed. That there was some of the boi-yoingiest boi-yoinging ever seen by mortals. I wonder if they could go through weave poles.?
lol... I have one word... *why???*
who would ever think of teaching a bunny tricks???
How is jaypo ever going to beep their noses?
That's awesome.
When I first got my fat Daphne she surprised the crap outta me when she jumped on my bed (which I have to do a running jump onto myself).
ceejoe, why not? if people teach goldfish tricks, why not teach your rabbit?
FalnFenix -- yeah lemme see a GOLDFISH steeplechase. [snerk]
(Actually, I'd post that in a second, come to think...)
I disapprove of bunny show jumping.
Signed,
A Bunny
Brillo! I love especially that they seem to be like wind-up toys. As soon as the person sets them on the ground--BOING!
Bunny Sudoku??
http://www.kaninhop.dk/uk/sudoku/
I can't even do number Sudoku (I get confused by sixes and nines).
That is phenominal. The best is the guy who yells out "YES" and pumps his fists when the bunny scales a particularly difficult wall o' doom.
And Brinann you are so right. The best is the "bunny paws" I mean "Pause" while they determine whether the next one is boing-able.
Holy Man!!!!! I LOVE it!! And I thought the Hamster House was one of the coolest things I've learned about on CO . . .and then THIS comes along!!!!!! I CAN"T STAND IT!!!!!!!!
OMG! It's too cute. It's just like a miniature horse jump thingy for bunnies!!!!! I want a bunny.
And you should read the how to train your bunny page! It is funny! The good one is the Is It better to hop a male of female bit.
Awww, this makes me miss my bunny!
I love how, when the first bunny is all done, he stands up a little so his human can pick him up.
I like the bunny at the end of the first run. He gets up on his hinds legs and seems to go:"Did I do good, did I win, did I win!"
Those buns are dynamite!
The Charlie Brown Christmas tree at the end is a little weird though.
I!
Whu!
Adda!
Wibba!
I didn't even know there was such a thing!
Bunnies! Jumping! On leashes!
*dies*
LOL! That is tewtally hysterical. Good searching, Jaye!
I find it highly amusing that grown people would put this much work into training their bunnies to jump a course. And that the bunnies would do it. Do they lead them on with carrots at first? How does this happen?
Me: Wow, in Denmark they have show bunnies that go around on leashes and jump over obstacles!
Husband: And accomplish what?
wow. that is all.
(back to work)
(and yes, the guy pumping his fists - all Rockied out - was hilarious. ;>)
Very funny. My bunnies are all like "Don't even think it, Mom". I only have one super bouncy and he is very busy defeating his nemesis, Blue Crushed Velvet Purse, and therefore has no time to train.
I also love the bunny pep talks.
Boingy bunnies!
Boingy bunnies!
I saw three bunnies at the pet store this week and I came dangerously close to taking one home.
But between bunny disapproval, cat disapproval (3 times), and husband disapproval--it might make the house asplode...
I still want one though...
IAMS Superdogs, eat your hearts out!!
*splodes*
i'm on ur leash, hoppin a hurdle!!
i cant believe how effortless these high jumps are for such little critters. i am impressed! we humans are not worthy!!! lol- too funny.
Friends: So,where ya been, what's been going on in your life?
Me: Oh, nothin' much. Been training my rabbit for a steeplechase. You?
Friends: ...
(and is the fact that I can type certain letters and numbers in sequence - to get on this thread - REALLY proof that I'm a human - really? Hmmmm?)
Me thinks bunnies are being taught to do the same at this very moment....
You think you've heard from nuffs, BEFORE? We should all be quivering in terror of the onslaught of dissapproving bunny comments that are brewing in a storm while we wait.
About halfway through, one of them has amazing tock action while he or she jumps! Amazing, I tell you!
I say the guy in the blue shirt with the really-high-jumping black bunny looks like he's bowling.
Crazy.
Anyone else notice that most of them were dutch rabbits? Is this coincidence?
I'd be impressed when show horses can jump that high (at scale).
Or they breed a bunny big enough to ride. (Wouldn't be popular in Australia, though.)
TGOT -- wouldn't they be Dutch hutch rabbits?
Let's just hope nobody misses one of those jumps and breaks a leg...
How is this not a two-hour special on Animal Planet? I smell a ratings bonanza, people.
Danish Bunnies sing this song,
Doo Da, Doo Da.
Danish racetrack's eight yard's long.
Oh Doo Da Day.
Goin' to bink all night,
Goin' to leap all day.
But I bet my money on a lop-eared Dutch,
So I'm goin' to win today.
(got yer back, Lauo)
I think this is great! I bet those rabbitsies are very happy and healthy, getting a lot of excercise and attention. Hop, bunny, hop!
