Rabbit Showmanship Example #1

4 of 6 how-to rabbit videos presented by Lisa-Karr-Lilienthal, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension Companion Animal Specialist. Rabbits are one of many animal science projects 4-H youth can enroll in. To find out more about 4-H, contact your local extension office. In showmanship, 4-H'ers are judged on their ability to handle and present their animal. For more information about rabbit showmanship, go to http://lancaster.unl.edu/4h/Rabbit/Showmanship.shtml

@themakersoffun This is for Nebraska 4-H youth.

I can't believe she didn't get bit checking the teeth like that!

[4HLancasterNE]

@SusieBunny It is important to be able to check your rabbit's teeth. You want to start soon after getting your rabbit and practice often. Rabbits teeth grow continuously so they are at a high risk for dental problems. Being able to easily, check your rabbit's teeth will help to detect any health issues early.

what is showmanship about? and why do you say it's used for its fur, you don't actually sell it for its fur do you? and why do you do these showmanships of rabbits? first time hearing about it.

[4HLancasterNE]

The mini rex breed of rabbits has a very unique fur type. The rex type of fur is caused by a gene mutation that results in very plush, thick, velvety fur. Mini rex rabbits are judged on their fur appearance and quality. Rex rabbits (the larger rabbit the mini-rex is derived from were used for fur), but the mini-rex is a smaller version and is kept primarily as a pet breed of rabbit.

@1cIassicmovies1 showmanship helps u learn and understand more about rabiits. fur is a class mostly judged on their fur like angoras, satins. mini rex r rabbits with velvet fur and their a fancy rabbit, too not commercial

I feed my rabbits oats along with plain pellets

[musicforever1474]

i juat sighned up for 4-h last night. i'm going to show either dutch rabbits or french lops

[Jaydeygirljayda]

@Myminirexisthumper i am currently switching my bunny off of nutriphase gold right now because the extra colourful pieces are bad for them and make them fat. You want to feed them just PLAIN pellets. Nothing added in.

I'm in 4H but, we do showmanship a lot different from this there is a lot more involved into this . Oh and her rabbit has sore hocks.

[TheBooms5]
