Answer 1

Bribe her with a carrot or something i thought they just jumped you have to teach them that?

Answer 2

rabbits are actually smart and can be trained, but it is harder to do especially if they're older.  Like with training them to use a litter box, it's much easier to do it if they're young.  

You can take an object and place it in front of the rabbit and on the other side of the object hold a treat.  You may need to, a few times, take the rabbit and place her over the object yourself and then give her the treat so she gets the basic idea of what you're wanting and with doing that she'll realize how to get whats in you hand.   This could take awhile, but it can be successful.  Some rabbits will cooperate and some won't want anything to do with it.

Answer 3

You can't just put them in front of a jump and thenstare at them. Rabbits prefer to not have everyone watching them. I know because I have tried to make my rabbit eat new vegetables. She will eat them if nobody is watching her, but not if people are watching her. The best thing you can do to get her to jump just do what you're doing already. Get her to chase you and you jump over the jump and after a while she will  figure it out.

Answer 4

rabbits are not very smart. They can't be trained to do much. But if you have something to motivate them to jump then maybe they will. Put her favorite treat on the other side of the jump.  Then when she tries to go around the jump put your hand there and push her back in front of the jump, soon she will jump over. I hope it works, because that is the only thing i can think of.
