Rodents and rabbits all react in their own way. One animal is very enthusiastic and curious, while the other animal still has to wait and see. Initially place the agility game near the enclosure and let the animals become familiar with it. A little sniff, perhaps even a little taste, will ensure that they become familiar with it and do not experience it as scary.

Instructions for use Agility set

• The game time also varies per animal. For example, one animal will like to play longer than the other animal. We recommend approximately two training units per week of a maximum of 10 minutes.
• Always play and train together with your animal. Do not place the set in the enclosure to play with.
• It is good to choose a quiet play location where your animal is not too distracted or disturbed by environmental factors. In addition, it must be a location where your animal feels safe.
• Choose a tasty reward for your rodent or rabbit, especially in the beginning. This can best be a snack that your animal really wants!
• Start as easy as possible and reward quickly when your animal has done something well. Especially in the beginning, it is useful to achieve quick success.

There are two parts, namely the willow ring and the wooden wall. Both are adjustable in height and therefore in difficulty. Always start as easily as possible.

Lure your rodent or rabbit towards the obstacles with treats and reward them immediately as soon as the animal does so. This way you build it up in small steps.

The clicker can be a nice training aid. These are available in different types. For example, there is a soft clicker that clicks very softly, which is especially suitable for nervous animals. In addition, there is a finger clicker that you can easily attach to your finger and finally there is a target stick with clicker. The latter has a pointing pin with a ball to indicate where the animal should go.
