It sounds like this bunny is going to be quite busy! I know you are very excited about him and he sounds like a real cutie pie. One thing that I would focus on though is his “rabbit” nature, instead of what a human baby would require. (I know in your other post you mentioned a baby stroller and diaper bag). The great thing about having a bunny is celebrating their “rabbity”selves. Clothing meant for babies or dolls would not be comfortable nor safe for a bunny (unless you are doing a rare goofy picture). Rabbits have enough fur to keep them warm and clothing will make it harder for them to regulate their temperature. Not to mention, makes it difficult to groom themselves and they can get digestive issues if they decide to chew on the clothing.

FYI: Rabbits, as prey animals, can be easily stressed.  Sometimes you won’t know they are stressed (as they can hide feeling bad very well) until they get sick. And they will also hide being sick too until it is serious. 

You have alot of energy and love to give to your bunny, and I think your idea of clicker training is a great way for you to bond with your bunny.

Just hanging out and relaxing with your bunny can also be extremely productive as you can use your observation skills — check out his body language. You may be surprised to find out what he’s actually saying. Here is a great site to help you decipher “rabbit speak “http://language.rabbitspeak.com/

I think it’s fantastic that your bunny will have an owner that loves him so much and wants to spend time with him – just be sure you are doing things that a rabbit would enjoy too.

Clicker training is great! Just don’t discourage normal rabbit behaviors like chewing or digging, if they try to chew or dig something they shouldn’t redirect by giving them a diggy box to dig or a phonebook to chew (: But training not to bite is good! I think BB definitely said it well. Rabbit are going to act like rabbits, not humans. Which is why I love them haha

Oh yes I know alot about buns and i would never discourage him. But as for the clothing, i was totally just kidding hehe . I dress him up every once in a while, but not for the whole day , just a lil bit to show off how smart and good he is ;p But he can do that on his own , i can tell. Hehe, but as for the strollers and diaper bag, yes, i want to take him to the bunfest and they have to be in a carrier, i seen alot of pictures of buns in a certain stroller and i thought it was cute.

Uh…hellooooo…everyone knows rabbits are not intended to push the clicker with their paws anyway!….They use NOSE BONKS to press the clicker. That way it leaves their paws free to give themselves some treats.  Geesh!  Does everything have to be explained around here.
