It’s another lazy Sunday and Roy the bunny likes nothing more than to kick back and relax, maybe munch on an apple or two. He’s not as young and energetic as he used to be, so he mostly prefers napping over, you know, doing stuff. He has his spurts of energy, to be sure, but for the most part, he’s a pretty lazy rabbit.
Anyways, you may recall that a few days ago, I found a video on YouTube that showed someone hypnotizing a rabbit. I asked if Danielle would be able to do that with Binky and she promptly replied:
what the…?! no WAY! LOL that’s crazy. binky would not be having that…especially on video. it looks like a stuffed animal! binky doesn’t let me pick him up, he’s one of those nervous types
I have no trouble picking Roy up and he seems pretty comfortable when I cradle him in my arms like a baby, so Susanne and I thought that we’d try this “hypnotize a bunny” trick too. Well, Roy didn’t cooperate with lying on a table, but after calming him down some (petting him on the head), he could be coaxed to lie on his back in our laps. Here’s video proof.
I poked his lucky rabbit’s foot near the end to prove that Roy has not been substituted for a stuffed animal. So, Danielle, wanna give Binky a shot?
WOW!!! has he ever done that before? i’m so impressed…! i just tried it with binky but he’s always been the squirmy type. i was able to get him still for a few seconds which surprised me (!) but he’s never able to be comfortable so he leaped out of my lap right away. now he’s under my bed 😀 hahaha… part of the reason i never gave him up for adoption after i rescued him is because he’s so sketchy. i don’t think anyone else would have much patience for him since he’s not a lap bunny… but he’ll sit next to me all day as long as i rub him!
That is pretty dang cool! I have never seen anything like this…
Your second job option- a hypnotist
Rabbit’s seem to be well adjusted to humans. I went to Victoria for a few days last week and went to see UVic (there’s bunnies everywhere there) and they would just come right up to you and smell your foot. That’s gotta the first time I’ve seen a blond bunny…
Such a funny fuzzy little guy. Must be fun to play with. Do you have (or had) any other pets?
Roy’s the only pet I have right now. In the past, I’ve had red-ear sliders (turtles), a teddy bear hamster, a dwarf hamster, and bettas (Siamese fighting fish). So, yeah, Roy is the “biggest” pet I’ve had thus far.
what is wrong with roy hynotize a rabbit?..haha, animal goes to sleep and wakes up in fear to sleep another hand..
