How to Attract a Rabbit

How to Attract a Rabbit. Though rabbits have been domesticated for generations, rabbit owners everywhere will admit that sometimes their rabbits act somewhat wild. There's a fine line between having a pet rabbit outside in the yard and having a feral rabbit that won't come to you no matter what you do. Rabbits are independent creatures, and attracting one to you can be a challenge. But with patience and the right bribes, you can get a rabbit to coming over to you.

How do you catch a "unique" rabbit? "You neek" up on it.

Things Needed

Rabbit treats, such as lettuce yogurt drops

Step 1

Get down on the rabbit's level by sitting down or laying on your stomach. This will make you less of a threat and will open a channel of communication between you and the rabbit.

Step 2

Do not chase the rabbit -- it will almost certainly run away, perhaps looking back at you mid-stride to see if you're enjoying the game. Instead, remain at a distance far enough back that the rabbit can sense that you cannot grab the rabbit.

Step 3

Hold out a choice piece of lettuce or a dandelion leaf and call the rabbit to you by name. Rabbits are naturally curious, and a rabbit may come over to you just to see what you have.

Step 4

Turn your back on the rabbit if it does not come to you. Rabbits use a lot of body language, and if you turn away, ignoring it, it may become affronted and come over to demand that you refocus your attention on it -- which is exactly what you want it to do.

Step 5

Involve yourself in an activity that will interest the rabbit, such as eating a piece of lettuce. The rabbit may become offended that you are not including it, and come over to demand what is rightfully its.

Step 6

Wait it out. The rabbit may be wary of you; it is a naturally curious but timid creature. If you remain in the rabbit's presence for a long-enough time, it will eventually come over to see what you're all about.
