Rabbit Diversity and Rabbit Hopping Demonstration | Bloomsburg Fair

[2026] Rabbit Diversity and Rabbit Hopping Demonstration at the Bloomsburg Fair.

Caption Text Below:    

00:00 - Come one, come all to witness the most incredible

00:03 - and diverse species known to man.

00:05 - The bunny rabbit.

00:06 - Good morning everyone. My name is Molly Lynn.

00:08 - Petro and I have been raising, showing and breeding rabbits ever since I was

00:13 - just about five years old,

00:15 - but I've pretty much been involved in rabbits ever since I was born.

00:18 - I was the Pennsylvania State Rabbit Queen in 2022 and 2024,

00:23 - and also on the Rabbit Royalty Court from the ages of five to about 18 or 19.

00:30 - So I've been in rabbits for a very, very, very long time.

00:34 - Rabbits are incredibly diverse and can be used for a variety of different things.

00:39 - There is an international organization

00:41 - called the American Rabbit Breeders Association.

00:45 - This organization was established in 1910

00:48 - and there are a variety of different breeds, fur types, body types and colors,

00:53 - and varieties that make each different breed of rabbit super unique and diverse.

00:59 - There are currently 53 different breeds that are domesticated

01:02 - and recognized under the American Rabbit Breeders Association.

01:07 - There also are a variety of different fur types,

01:11 - so when it comes to your fur types, there are your roll back fur types

01:15 - and your flyback fur types.

01:17 - So this means that their fur, when you stroke them from the hindquarters

01:20 - all the way up to the base of the head, where that neck connects to that head,

01:24 - a roll back fur type will slowly, gradually roll

01:27 - back to its normal position.

01:29 - Fly back fur type.

01:31 - These guys are the complete opposite when you're stroking them from the back.

01:34 - All the way up to the front.

01:35 - So basically the opposite way you would pet that rabbit,

01:38 - that fur will snap right back into position.

01:41 - There is also slow roll back.

01:43 - That's when the fur is going even slower than your roll

01:46 - back for types and then snappy fly back.

01:49 - That fur is usually your commercialized breeds

01:52 - because they have a super short translucent hair shaft.

01:56 - So that means that it's going right back into position super, super fast.

02:00 - There is also your SAT and fur types.

02:02 - These guys are known for having that luster and that sheen.

02:06 - They're known for having that super shiny coat.

02:09 - They have that translucent hair shaft.

02:11 - Then also are your rex fur types, these breeds

02:15 - commonly known as your mini Rex, your Velveteen Lop and your Rex.

02:19 - These guys actually their fur is the exact same length.

02:23 - So that means that they're commonly known for being used for their pelt.

02:26 - They're the bunnies that are really, really soft.

02:28 - If you guys have had a chance to make your way on over to the rabbit

02:32 - and poultry barns, most of our rabbits that are there are many.

02:36 - Rex, like the one whole entire side is all Mini Rex because there's

02:39 - so many mini Rex that are being exhibited here at the Bloomsburg Fair here today.

02:44 - But those guys are commonly known for being used for their pelt.

02:48 - Rabbits can also be used for meat.

02:52 - Rabbit meat is actually the healthiest meat known to man,

02:55 - according to the USDA, because it's super low on fat,

02:59 - calories, and cholesterol, but super high on protein.

03:03 - It tastes almost like chicken, but it's a lot more flavorful.

03:06 - I think it's really, really good.

03:08 - I personally could never use my rabbits for rabbit meat

03:11 - just because I establish kind of a great one on one connection with

03:15 - each individual rabbit, but some people like to use them for rabbit meat.

03:20 - Going

03:20 - back to showing within the American Rabbit Breeders Association,

03:25 - there are also several different body types.

03:28 - The first body type I want to talk about is a compact body type.

03:32 - Now I want you guys to think and visualize

03:34 - almost like a basketball or a bowling ball.

03:39 - It looks exactly like a ball.

03:40 - That's exactly what a compact body type is.

03:43 - So they're made to be super small and compacted.

03:47 - The next body type is a commercialized body type.

03:49 - Remember how I just talked about meat?

03:51 - Rabbits can be used for meat.

03:53 - This is your commercialized breed, so they're made to have that mass,

03:57 - that width of body and have that fullness to that point.

04:00 - So that way they're having as much meat in their body as possible.

04:04 - So those are your commercialized body types.

04:06 - Next are your semi or mandolin.

04:09 - Now I want you guys to visualize.

04:11 - Now bear with me right here I want you guys to visualize a light bulb

04:15 - that's exactly what this body type is.

04:17 - They're super low in the shoulders.

04:19 - And then they're gradually rising up into that hind quarter and four quarters,

04:23 - rounding out towards that fullness.

04:24 - So the table so literally a light bulb.

04:29 - Next are your full arch bridge.

04:32 - So with my full arch bridge

04:35 - these guys are actually judged by how they move throughout the table,

04:40 - their body type which I actually have one that I'll bring out later today to hop

04:43 - their body type is actually it's almost like it

04:47 - arcs all the way down, similar to like a compact upright body type,

04:51 - but they're going to have that arc with their body type, and they're moved

04:54 - by how they move throughout the table.

04:57 - Next are your compact, upright body types, commonly known

05:01 - as like your Holland lop, your lion head, your American fuzzy lot.

05:05 - These guys are a mix between an upright body

05:09 - type, an upright cylindrical body type, and then also a compact body type.

05:13 - So they're made to be small and compacted, but they actually stand up to post.

05:18 - So they look like this.

05:19 - They stand up, they have that arc body type.

05:22 - But then they also are supposed to be super small and compacted.

05:27 - Next are your upright cylindrical body types.

05:30 - These guys have that upright so they stand up to post,

05:32 - but their body type actually will slowly, gradually

05:36 - go on an arc and be super long all the way down to that table.

05:41 - All right, I got all my body types.

05:43 - They keep adding new body types every single year.

05:45 - So I'm like, I gotta study up on all this.

05:49 - All right.

05:50 - So there are also state, local and regional competitions

05:54 - that you can compete in with showing when you're using this rabbit for showing,

05:59 - such as the Pennsylvania State Rabbit Breeders Association

06:02 - and then also your American Rabbit Breeders Association, National Convention,

06:07 - which is actually held in Reno in just a couple of weeks.

06:10 - We're getting super, super close to that national convention.

06:13 - I personally will not be attending it just because I'm not

06:16 - driving all the way out to Reno, but I know a lot of people are,

06:20 - so it's definitely something to be super, super stoked and excited about.

06:24 - Rabbits can also be used for their fiber arts or their fiber aspects.

06:29 - Breeds like your Jersey Woolies,

06:31 - your lion heads, your American Fuzzy Lops, and then all of your Angora,

06:36 - your Satin Angora, English Angora, giant and Gore and French Angora.

06:39 - These guys are known for being used for their fiber arts.

06:42 - This means that they have tons of wool.

06:45 - If you guys had a chance to go over to the rabbit and poultry barns

06:48 - and check out the super fluffy bunnies, those are the super fluffy bunnies

06:52 - that are known for being used for their fiber.

06:55 - They have super nice density and texture into that coat.

06:58 - You can go ahead and cart it, you can pluck it or just simply clip

07:02 - that wool off, and you can use it and spin it

07:06 - and make it into various methods of products.

07:08 - I know a lot of people dye that wool.

07:10 - They'll make it into scarves, hats, gloves, sweaters, pretty much

07:14 - whatever you name it.

07:15 - It's a lot finer of a wool to work with compared to like alpaca

07:20 - or like sheep, but it makes some really cool products.

07:24 - It's really, really soft to

07:27 - rabbits.

07:28 - Can also be used for therapy.

07:30 - My first rabbit, Herbie, he was a Himalayan.

07:33 - I actually used him for therapy and I'd take him to different

07:37 - care facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, pretty much anywhere.

07:41 - Sort of having that sweet rabbit will kind of clump patients

07:45 - and give them hope when it comes to finding that cure

07:48 - for maybe if they have cancer or some other disease.

07:51 - But you don't have to worry about those rabbits.

07:53 - You know, waking the neighbors or maybe barking or anything like that.

07:58 - So they're great to have.

07:59 - Rabbits can also be used for pets as well.

08:04 - Like I said, you don't have to worry about those rabbits waking up the neighbors,

08:07 - anything like that. They're super easy to take care of.

08:10 - We feed and water them about twice a day or even once a day.

08:14 - When it comes to carriers, they can stay in hutches

08:18 - or just regular cages with that wire bottom as well.

08:21 - We recommend the wire bottom, so that way they're not right on

08:25 - like their droppings that are coming out.

08:27 - And it's super easy.

08:28 - Usually once a week we'll take those trays out, dump them and then go from there.

08:34 - Now finally rabbits can be used for rabbit hopping,

08:37 - which I'm sure that's kind of the reason you guys are here today.

08:40 - Rabbit hopping was introduced in the early 1960s in Sweden

08:45 - by a group of horse jumpers that thought, hey,

08:47 - if we can do this with horses, why can't we do this with rabbits?

08:51 - That's rabbit hopping was born.

08:54 - Now, just like if you're making a pie or doing

08:58 - any sort of cooking, there's a recipe, right?

09:01 - There are certain ingredients that you need in order to maybe

09:05 - make that finished product.

09:06 - It's the same exact thing with rabbit hopping.

09:08 - There's certain ingredients that you need.

09:10 - So the very first thing that you need are your mats.

09:14 - Usually we just get like rubber mats or mats just like these.

09:17 - I think these are from like Lowe's or Home Depot.

09:19 - They're super cheap, super easy to work with.

09:22 - That way when the rabbit is taking off

09:24 - and landing, we're not breaking toenails or toes.

09:28 - We're not breaking our legs, anything like that.

09:30 - We want this sport to be as safe as possible for the rabbit.

09:35 - The next thing you need are your jumps.

09:37 - We typically recommend the wooden jumps just because when they fall,

09:42 - they don't make a ton of sound versus like a metal jump.

09:45 - But you can use a metal jump too.

09:47 - And these are super easy to make.

09:49 - We made these during Covid.

09:50 - It took like maybe ten minutes max, super easy to make.

09:54 - Then also you need your PVC pipe poles.

09:59 - These guys are spaced two inches apart, so that way

10:02 - it's super easy to count how many inches our rabbit are jumping.

10:07 - But those are also really easy to make as well.

10:10 - I did put some cool tape on it though to make that fun.

10:14 - The next thing you need is an eight style harness.

10:18 - Let me bring one out.

10:21 - So when I put this on my rabbit,

10:23 - it will actually look like an eight, hence the name eight style harness.

10:28 - This is what's recognized under the American Hopping Association.

10:32 - This is the safest kind of harness to use on your rabbit.

10:37 - These guys I used to compete with them for rabbit hopping,

10:40 - so I try and follow the rules as much as I can.

10:43 - My leash should measure from fingertip to fingertip.

10:46 - That way I'm super easy, super able to pick up

10:49 - that rabbit whenever I can in case of an emergency.

10:53 - You don't want a super long leash that you're like, oh, I got too many leash.

10:57 - You got too much leash here.

10:58 - Got to be able to pick up that rabbit or two short that we're constantly

11:02 - over on top of those jumps, and we might knock them over.

11:07 - So we want it from fingertip to fingertip.

11:09 - All right.

11:10 - And the final thing that you need, of course, is the rabbit.

11:15 - You can use any rabbit for rabbit hopping.

11:18 - It can be, one of the recognized 53 different breeds.

11:22 - Or it can also be a mixed breed.

11:26 - So my two guys that I have here, Royal, he's a tan.

11:30 - I'll bring him out last.

11:32 - He actually is a little bit too small for his breed,

11:35 - so he would be disqualified for being underweight.

11:38 - But he loves rabbit hopping so he's perfect for rabbit hopping.

11:42 - My other guy is the opposite end of the spectrum.

11:45 - He's too big. He's way too big boned.

11:48 - So he would be disqualified for being overweight.

11:51 - But he's a mini Rex and he's perfect for rabbit hopping and he absolutely loves it.

11:56 - All right guys, are you ready to watch some rather hopping?

12:01 - All right

12:01 - I'm going to go ahead and get on my eight star harness.

12:05 - The first guy that I'm bringing out this is boy.

12:08 - He's a mini rex.

12:10 - So remember how I talked about in The Uses of Rabbits?

12:12 - That fur type, that rex fur type.

12:15 - So his fur is all the same length.

12:21 - Oops.

12:23 - This eight style harness will go around the neck and then around the belly area.

12:29 - You want to make sure that you can get two fingers underneath that harness.

12:35 - That way it's not too tight, not too loose.

12:39 - I'm going to be

12:40 - completely honest, my boy Royal, that I'll get out later.

12:43 - He hates his harness being super, super tight so I can probably get

12:47 - about three fingers underneath there, but that's the way he likes it.

12:52 - All right, we'll see how this goes.

12:55 - Just like how athletes kind of have to warm up and stretch

12:58 - to warm up those bodies, get ready to do some physical activity.

13:02 - It's the same with the rabbits.

13:03 - So usually we're a little bit slower on that first round.

13:07 - Boy good boy, good boy.

13:13 - My rabbits also have a way that they like to go more than the other.

13:17 - If you can't tell, we're a little bit faster.

13:20 - As you can tell, we like this way just a little bit more.

13:24 - Good boy, good boy.

13:28 - If you also can tell he's

13:30 - really, really molting right now.

13:33 - It's like coming out.

13:35 - All right. Good job.

13:36 - We're going to go ahead and up the stakes just a little bit.

13:39 - See how he'll do.

13:41 - Honestly I have not hopped these guys

13:45 - since Farm Show this year.

13:48 - So this is their first time hopping since then.

13:50 - And they're doing pretty good so far.

13:56 - Like I

13:56 - said earlier, each pull is two inches apart,

14:00 - so it looks like we are at ten inches

14:03 - right now in the middle for our

14:07 - good boy or three.

14:11 - Good boy for.

14:18 - Our. Come on, wake up.

14:22 - I'll be up.

14:25 - There we go.

14:26 - Good boy, good boy.

14:31 - Good boy.

14:35 - He hates this sleigh, as you can tell.

14:38 - Good boy, good boy.

14:42 - If you notice how in between each run I actually do not give my rabbits treats.

14:46 - Like I said earlier, I used to use them for rabbit hopping.

14:50 - And you actually cannot treat train your rabbits

14:53 - or use treats in a rabbit hopping competition setting.

14:56 - So in between runs, I kind of just give this guy

14:59 - tons of love and appreciation, show that he's doing a good job, and

15:03 - we've developed a pretty good relationship over the years, so

15:07 - usually that does the trick.

15:10 - All right.

15:11 - We're going to go ahead and go back.

15:13 - Like I said, he likes this way a lot more.

15:23 - Good boy.

15:25 - Up up up up.

15:28 - He's not sure.

15:30 - He's my slower jumper.

15:32 - Good boy.

15:35 - He actually was a petting zoo bunny.

15:38 - But he didn't really like that that much.

15:40 - He like to kind of run around a little too much.

15:42 - So he got fired from that job.

15:44 - Then we started rabbit hopping.

15:46 - All right. Good boy.

15:48 - Shall we go one more time?

15:50 - And then I'll switch to my wild guy.

15:52 - Let's do it.

15:53 - I'm going to go down to the way that he likes them most.

15:57 - Good boy.

15:58 - Hello.

16:00 - All right, we're going to go one more time.

16:05 - Hey. Oh, whoops.

16:08 - I'm getting tangled in my wires.

16:17 - Good boy.

16:21 - Good boy.

16:23 - Good job.

16:25 - Good boy.

16:29 - Good boy.

16:30 - Let's give boy a hand while I put them back.

16:33 - Good boy.

16:36 - All right,

16:36 - so my last guy that I'm going to get out, his name is Royal.

16:40 - He's a tan, so he's that full arch body type.

16:45 - When he was a show bunny, when he was a little boy,

16:49 - he was actually judged by how he moves

16:53 - throughout that table. So.

16:56 - All right.

16:57 - Ready? Royal.

16:59 - All right.

17:02 - Good boy.

17:05 - I'm going to be honest.

17:06 - This guy is a little nuts.

17:09 - So sometimes it's a little bit of a pain

17:12 - to get this harness on.

17:16 - I have

17:18 - we might be okay.

17:22 - He just has a lot of energy.

17:23 - Usually I'm surprised he's behaving right now.

17:27 - We might be okay. Thank you though. Yeah.

17:31 - Got it a

17:33 - okay.

17:34 - Crazy bunny.

17:38 - He knows he's pretty.

17:38 - Trust me.

17:41 - All right, I'm going to go ahead, warm him up.

17:43 - Then we'll go from there.

17:45 - I'm also going to take the stakes down

17:48 - a little bit.

17:55 - All right.

17:55 - That's a little bit better.

18:00 - Here we go.

18:02 - I keep getting tangled in these wires.

18:04 - As you can tell, he's ready to go.

18:08 - Good boy.

18:10 - All right, you ready?

18:11 - Go back. Sir.

18:13 - Stay.

18:18 - Good boy.

18:20 - Oh, he seems to like the other way right now.

18:23 - Apparently. Usually they like the other way.

18:26 - The way that we're going right now.

18:28 - Good boy.

18:31 - I'm not sure about the last jump up.

18:38 - Go, sir.

18:41 - Thank you.

18:42 - Good boy, good boy.

18:46 - I'm going to up the stakes a little bit, just cause he's

18:48 - going to get really severely bored with how low this is.

18:52 - And usually because he has an attitude.

18:56 - When he gets bored, he starts just barreling through the jumps.

18:59 - So we're going to keep him happy.

19:03 - Good boy,

19:05 - good boy.

19:09 - All right, here we go, baby.

19:17 - As you can tell, he has a mind of his own.

19:19 - Good boy.

19:21 - But he does it so effortless, effortlessly.

19:27 - The boy.

19:28 - Good job.

19:31 - So, under the American Hopping Association,

19:34 - there are several different courses that you can actually compete in.

19:38 - This is an example of a straight line course, hence the name straight

19:42 - line course.

19:43 - These jumps are in a straight line, and they're judged by how fast

19:47 - you maneuver through these jumps, as well as every time you knock over a pole,

19:52 - a set of poles, or a whole entire jump, that would be considered a fault.

19:56 - And you get six faults, poor program before you would be disqualified.

20:01 - And then there are three runs when you're doing your competition.

20:05 - So usually I like to go this way and back to figure out which way

20:09 - my rabbit enjoys the most, and then I'll go back to

20:12 - whichever way that is to do that final third run.

20:15 - So you get three tries.

20:17 - There is also a crooked course, like I talked about earlier,

20:21 - about rabbit hopping being introduced

20:24 - or made known by a group of horse jumpers.

20:28 - This is a lot like your equestrian horse jumping course.

20:31 - The jumps will look exactly like this.

20:34 - They will be spread throughout the arena, and you have a certain way

20:37 - that you have to maneuver through those jumps.

20:39 - They're judged

20:40 - by how fast you maneuver through them, and then also your number of faults.

20:44 - So you want a quick time with no faults to be able to win.

20:48 - Next are your long jump.

20:50 - This is actually a fairly new course that was just added.

20:53 - This is where the rabbit is judged by how far they can jump.

20:57 - And also the long jump is on a little bit of an incline.

21:01 - So the rabbit not only has to jump super, super far, but

21:04 - also has to have a little bit of height each and every time

21:08 - you get three tries from one direction and you can flip flop back and forth

21:12 - to figure out which direction works the best for you.

21:16 - Each pole again is two inches apart, so you'll start with two inches.

21:21 - Then you'll go to four,

21:22 - and then all the way up to see how far that rabbit can jump.

21:26 - There is also high jump where the rabbit is judged

21:28 - by how high they can jump, and again you get three tries.

21:32 - You can do whichever direction works best for your rabbit.

21:36 - The current record right now the international record is 36in.

21:42 - Ladies and gentlemen, that is three feet high.

21:46 - That's insane.

21:47 - And guess what?

21:48 - It's held by a Britney of a cheat.

21:51 - The second smallest breed of rabbits.

21:53 - So like this tiny, super, super tiny,

21:56 - which is absolutely insane.

21:59 - There is also agility, which you can do for CV's, also known as guinea pigs too.

22:05 - This is where the rabbit will have normal jumps like this throughout,

22:08 - but also will have stuff like

22:11 - hula hoops, tunnels, seesaws that they can go on.

22:15 - My first rabbit that I used for rabbit hopping blueberries is kind of

22:18 - like the infamous today I took him and tried agility once or twice.

22:23 - It didn't go really well so we didn't try it again.

22:26 - But you can also use it for agility.

22:29 - And when it comes to judging, there's

22:32 - only one way that you come in and that is for us.

22:35 - However, it's just by how fast you jump.

22:39 - And then also if you don't complete like a tunnel,

22:41 - if the rabbit goes around the tunnel or on the seesaw, that would be considered.

22:46 - You'll get six falls per run. Makes.

22:54 - You go, oh, now.

22:58 - Too many wires.

22:59 - This is now used to it.

23:03 - All right.

23:04 - I'm going to go ahead and hop him because he's getting warm for me.

23:07 - Holding on.

23:09 - Oh, as you can tell, he's ready to go

23:13 - okay, okay.

23:15 - Chill.

23:21 - Oh my gosh.

23:24 - Well there.

23:25 - What my my.

23:39 - So when you're starting out with rabbit

23:41 - hopping, you only want to start with just a couple of poles on the ground.

23:45 - And then slowly, very, very slowly work your way up.

23:48 - Right down again.

23:49 - Yeah I know that's.

23:53 - You only want to spend

23:54 - about 10 to 15 minutes a day working with that rabbit.

23:57 - That way they're truly enjoying it.

23:59 - And they don't see it as like a job or a chore for them to do this guy.

24:04 - It probably took me rabbit

24:07 - Max three days to teach him

24:10 - just because he loved the job, and he had a ton of ton of energy.

24:14 - If you can't tell.

24:19 - We'll see which way he likes.

24:21 - At this moment.

24:24 - When I warmed him up earlier before I started presenting,

24:27 - he liked going this way.

24:28 - But then now that I'm presenting, he likes going the other way, so who knows?

24:31 - He can't make up his mind.

24:38 - Good boy,

24:40 - good boy, good job, Royal.

24:45 - All right, shall we up the stakes and see what happens?

25:01 - All right, so it looks like we're at 12in.

25:05 - The guys, the bunnies that I brought with me today,

25:08 - they're not my high jumpers.

25:10 - Blueberry was my high jumper.

25:13 - He could jump really, really high.

25:16 - However, he's really, really old.

25:18 - He's like 8 or 9 years old.

25:19 - So he's retired from River hopping. Now.

25:23 - Royal is about three years old.

25:26 - And then boy, the mini rex that I had earlier, the black mini Rex,

25:30 - he's about 4 or 5.

25:33 - You can start training a rabbit for rabbit hopping at six months old.

25:37 - So when they turn into that senior category

25:41 - and then we usually start popping them once they get tired

25:45 - and it seems like they don't really enjoy it that much anymore.

25:49 - Come on baby, you just went over the 12, but you won't go over six.

25:54 - Cowboy.

25:55 - As you can tell, he has a mind of its own.

25:57 - I think he needs a challenge, a challenge?

26:00 - What's the challenge?

26:01 - That tall into the challenge?

26:02 - If anybody can do those.

26:07 - Alan, do you want to jump over?

26:10 - Alan, I think you should jump over them.

26:14 - You don't think so?

26:22 - It's like

26:22 - hurdles for track, but for bunnies.

26:26 - If only could that he might be all right.

26:30 - Ready? We've.

26:33 - Good boy.

26:38 - That's the same jump.

26:40 - You have an attitude today, sir.

26:47 - Yes. He's not sure what to think.

26:52 - Let's try that again.

26:55 - Good boy.

26:57 - So, like I talked about earlier,

26:59 - there are several different colors and varieties that each breed has.

27:03 - This is an example.

27:04 - Like I said of that can breed, but he's actually a chocolate color.

27:09 - So if you notice this darker right here we call that chocolate.

27:13 - So that's why he's called that chocolate color.

27:15 - They also for the autumn breeds they come in other colors

27:19 - such as lilac blue and black.

27:24 - We'll try that again. Let's go.

27:26 - The way that he has been liking.

27:30 - Since he's a man with an opinion today.

27:40 - Up! Oh, maybe.

27:46 - As you can tell, he has that gorgeous full arch

27:48 - body type.

27:52 - He's not sure what you think.

27:56 - Good boy.

27:59 - That.

28:01 - But yeah, we won't see this one until I.

28:06 - He was like, I did the tall ones.

28:08 - That's enough.

28:09 - Good boy.

28:12 - Good job.

28:13 - So if you notice with these poles, we haven't had any faults yet today,

28:17 - which I'm pretty surprised these poles are super easy to knock off.

28:22 - That way, if the rabbit we're trying to get over,

28:24 - we're not going to get our foot caught and they're going to fall right off

28:28 - that way. It's super safe for that rabbit.

28:31 - All right.

28:31 - I think he's done for today just because we have some more

28:34 - presentations throughout the week, and I don't want to tire them out too much

28:38 - because they don't really have the best stamina right now.

28:42 - I haven't had them since Farm Show, so

28:45 - they're

28:45 - probably a little bit tired before I wrap it up today.

28:48 - Do you guys have any questions?

28:51 - Yeah, yeah, 24 hours a day.

28:55 - You know, official,

28:58 - rabbit hopping, eight,

29:01 - from the from some company as the official.

29:06 - Do you mean the jumps?

29:07 - Right. The jumps. Yeah. How are they?

29:09 - Like, so they're the same measurements that they use in a competition setting.

29:13 - We just made them like Becky Homekey because we wanted to save money.

29:18 - So these are homemade cage that they're made.

29:22 - Yes. Correct.

29:23 - So they should be two inches apart. Yep.

29:26 - Yeah.

29:27 - So you can go up

29:29 - the narrow on the pictures.

29:31 - You can. Yes.

29:33 - And the ones that they use in like competition settings

29:37 - a little pricey but that's why we made them at home during Covid.

29:43 - Any other questions.

29:46 - All right.

29:46 - How about a round of applause for Miss Marianne Vito

29:50 - and their amazing leaping rabbit?

29:54 - Yeah.

29:55 - Thank you guys so much for coming out today.

29:57 - Enjoy the rest of your day here at the Bloomsburg Fair.
