Hypnotize A Rabbit?!

By Devaki

Rabbits
Cliff Penrose, a 60 year-old man from Cornwall in Britain, can hypnotize rabbits with behavioural problems.

Penrose brings the bunnies with behavioural problems under control before sending them to the experts.

He will start with a massage which leaves the bunny flat on their backs, with their legs in the air. This is the signal which shows that the rabbit has come to the control of the person, who hypnotises. Then they will be in a tranced or hypnotized state for up to 10 minutes. The rabbits will emerge from this state as a happier and more relaxed pet.

Then they will be sent to the veterinary doctor, Fiona Rawlings who is practising in St Austell.

Some people say that rabbits are simply acting dead, like when they are in the fear of predators. But the veterinary surgeon Rawlings says that when they are in fear, they will never expose up such a vulnerable part of the body like tummy, instead of hunching the body up tightly to stop attack.
