It is necessary to catch a rabbit accurately, without causing to a small animal of additional trouble. Of course, it is possible to wait still restless pet will return itself to the dwelling. But not always the owner has time for expectation, especially if the rabbit does not hurry to come back to a cage. In this case it should be helped.
Instruction
1. Before torturing to catch a rabbit, pay attention to signals which he gives. Your rabbit beats with hind legs about the earth? It means that he warns about the readiness in any second to dart off.

2. Accustom the rabbit to come to call. In that case, you will be able to reduce a problem of search of the escaped pet to a minimum. Call a small animal. If he seemed in a visibility range, do not run to him and be not enough him sharply. It can frighten a rabbit. The scared small animal ceases to trust the constant owner. Also it is possible to beckon the fluffy fugitive by means of favourite delicacy. Put a small piece of carrot or couple of granules of a dry feed on a palm. A rabbit, having noticed delicacy, with bigger hunting will leave the playground.
3. The previous method is good in case the rabbit is under review. But it is possible, your pet hid in some more secluded place. Knowledge of habits of a rabbit will help to find it.
