yeah could be a problem because film is a little dark and rabbit does come to an unfortunate end

My rabbits come when you call them but thats it! Might stand up on their hind legs if you dangle a bit of food there. But would do anything for raisins....just a tip
It is v difficult to train rabbits. I have never seen a rabbit dance. They might binky (kinda twich uncontrolably) but its hard to predict, usually do it when I let them out in the morning.

I doubt if your'e going to be able to find one that's already trained. I think you'll have to put in a hell of a lot of hard work and time.

Thats appalling.
I hope you get kicked in the genitalia whenever you do something wrong.

Rabbits will learn a routine like that if they are fed something they love. I bet the guy put some treats in the microphone. AS I said before, my two would sell their mother for rasins
