You can readily “hypnotize” a rabbit (put it to sleep) by laying it on its back and gently stroking the chest, abdomen, and sides of the head. When asleep a rabbit is in a trance-like state (Fig. 5.22). Hypnosis may have some value as a means of restraining animals for minor surgery; probably it is mainly used to get the attention of 4-H Club members touring the rabbitry!
