Panda Rabbits kept outdoors with free movement often live longer.

How do you raise it so it's obedient?

1. Let the Panda Rabbit remember its own name and come whenever called. Facts prove that Panda Rabbits know their own names and can remember them. You must fix on one name, preferably with stress, so it is easy for the Panda Rabbit to remember. Then, intentionally or not, call its name softly. Once it responds, be sure to give a reward in time. Note here whether your Panda Rabbit has reached the age when it can eat snacks. For a young rabbit, you can give one pellet of rabbit food or one stalk of alfalfa as a reward. With persistence for less than a month, the Panda Rabbit can remember its name.

2. Let the Panda Rabbit out to play and return to its cage by itself. Many Panda Rabbits, having stayed in the cage for a long time, go crazy once let out, and may even refuse to return to the cage after playing. Every time, people have to chase them from behind for a long time and still cannot get them back. Mine could not do it at first either. Once it came out, it was its world. When I realized I needed to train it, it took me about two or three weeks to train it well. When you want the Panda Rabbit to return to the cage, you must have a fixed action. Mine was a light pat on the rump. At first it may not work, but after trying a few more times you will master the trick. After the Panda Rabbit is driven back to the cage, you should also give a reward, so that the Panda Rabbit knows that returning to the cage after playing also brings a reward, and next time it will be easier.

3. When the Panda Rabbit makes a mistake, you must give it a lesson in time. Of course, this does not mean beating the Panda Rabbit up, because that will only make it more afraid of you. After it makes a mistake, you should scold it, and most importantly, ignore it for a while afterward so it realizes it has made a mistake. Do not immediately touch it, hold it or kiss it again right after scolding it, because that will make it unable to tell whether you are angry or playing with it, and of course it will not be obedient later. You must catch mistakes red-handed. If the mistake has already been made and you did not see it, then hitting it afterward will only increase its fear of you.
