Whether you are just getting started with rabbit showmanship or you need a refresher, this tutorial covers the process from start to finish. Many thanks to Grant Sweeter, Lincoln County 4-H alumni, for doing this demonstration!
This is a great video! Thank you! I am a 4-H Alumni and now serve on the committee and needed a good refresher and example. 4-H is more than a hobby, its a life!
I'm most certainly late to this comment lmao. But 4-H season is rolling up fast again! Watching for a refresher, I showed dairy feeders last two years, and my first year I showed rabbits. How'd you do? I'm definitely excited for this year.
Can I still show my rabbit in the fair with a missing dew claw? Back a week ago, my rabbit had gotten her one of her dew claws stuck on the rug in my room and it ended up coming right off.
There are a few factors in dealing with the missing claw - a SDSU Extension Youth Program Advisor could help you, one would Deanna Gall at 605.387.4205 or there are more listed on the SDSU Extension website: extension.sdstate.edu/
@Jeremey Grande I agree with the below comment. By holding the rabbit with its stomach facing upwards it can potentially cause the rabbit to go into a stage called GI-Stasis which can in fact kill a rabbit.
When you flip over a rabbit the organs push against the spinal chord putting them in a paralysis like state, the rabbit can still move if it feels severely uncomfortable or freaked out, a lot of people think that it's traumatized and that's why it doesn't move but that's not true, the only way this can be dangerous for the rabbit is if it's done for to long, but even then you would have to do it for about 5 to 10 minutes and if the rabbit is healthy than there will be no permanent effects. This is also a necessary maneuver to be able to do a complete health check on you rabbit.
What idiot puts a rabbit on its back. Its going into a trance which can KILL it. It causes their heartbeat to increase which could lead to a heart attack. Please no one do this!!
@@uselessgameing8368 it depends on how long you do it for.. it can kill them if done for a long time but also have to have them on there backs for a moment soemtimes fir check ups for lumps bruises surgery clipping nails ect.
