With the Dead Buck Game, I have one buck who is so chill with people, that when he is laying on his side looking dead, you can do anything to him and he won't get up. I like to open his mouth and poke his teeth, or scratch his chin, or stretch out his back legs and thoroughly examine each toe and the rabbit doesn't even lift his head. I can pick him up when he is laying on his side, and set him down again on his side (doesn't even have to be in the same position - sometimes I just balance the playing-dead rabbit on my legs as I clean his cage) and he just keeps the same position. I can also roll him over onto his back, and then onto his other side, and he doesn't care. I've put leashes and hats and stuff on him too while he was on his side. The only way to get him to stand up is to take a step back and call his name and he'll jump up and run over to me. He'll lay down on his side like this at shows too - ever seen a buck play dead on the judging table - not in the judging cages, but the table itself? I've had plenty of people think that he was dead. Yes, my buck has mastered the Dead Buck Game.
