Things You'll Need
- Rabbit treats, such as lettuce yogurt drops
Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
