Rabbit Development

[00:00:00]Here's how I view rabbits developmentally from birth to about 12 weeks. Think of them like a child that's 0 to 8 years old. You want to pick them up. You want to insert whatever culture that you want them to have. They're very flexible. They're very moldable. They're very spongy.

[00:00:17]Introduce them to things. Throughout the teenage months, it won't be the whole time. 13 weeks to 9 months, 10 months, those are your teenage months. That's where you're just trying to get along.

[00:00:28]They have a lot going on. They have a lot of opinions. They have a lot of feelings. Try not to create resentment.

[00:00:34]And then once they become adults, about that 9 10 month mark, think of them 18 to 25 to 30. They're just becoming adults. They're just becoming calm and regulated. They make excellent students, but they'll also not trust everything.

[00:00:51]You really have to earn their trust in order to get cooperation.
