My previous rabbit (His name was Bunny- I know, how original.... there's a long story.) he would wear his harness and we would go for walks. Sometimes it would just be a trip to the pet store so he could pick out his own treats. The trick was to walk behind him to sorta chase him and he'd go where I led him. He was also fully liter box trained so maybe once a week I'd find 2 little pellets on the carpet. In fact at one point he refused to poop in his cage, so I'd come home from work and open his cage, he'd leap out and in about 3 bounds make it to the litter box.
Reaper, he was the one who liked TV. He really liked baseball and Golf; not sure if it was the grass or what. He would sit there stretched out watching the game, and when a comercial would come on he'd run around the living room for a while, and then as soon as the game started up again he'd plop himself back down to watch TV. He was also very well trained. A few of the commands he knew:
-Stay
-Hug (He'd put each of his front paw on either side of your neck.)
-Go back to your cage
- Short run. (If I was tired I'd tell him that before letting him out; he'd come out, run around the living room about 5 times at full speed, then right back into his cage.)
- Yawn (this was so I could check his teeth- it wasn't so much a command as a response to me yawning in front of him, he'd yawn back.)
Boo-Boo is far less responsive to commands, but she is a total sweetheart. I was so afraid to get another rabbit because of how good Bunny was, and it turns out Boo-Boo has found a different way into my heart. It's so true about rabbits; each has their own personallity just like a cat or a dog.
As for Boo-Boo watching TV; oddly enough she only watches TV from her cage. From her cage she can see the TV in the kitchen, and I often see her lying down and watching the TV. Because of this I bought a new TV for the kitchen; one with an on/off timer. Right now she's watching TSN while I'm at work. But with the TV in the bedroom where her run is; she rarely watches it. Mind you she has all sorts of toys to play with so she keeps pretty busy in there.
