![]() Also according to some research I stumbled upon rabbits are extremely territorial, don’t put two males together in the same cage. What shouldn’t be disputed is, unless you’re trained, a veterinarian, or a researcher, don’t try to put any animal into a tonic immobility state. ![]() Surprisingly there’s not a lot of research into why they enter this state when flipped over but researchers do suspect it’s part of a mating behavior since female sharks are more responsive, but as of now that is not confirmed and is disputed. Now sharks compared to ducks, rabbits, and chickens apparently might not be entering a catatonic state out of fear. Plus being on their backs risks a broken spine and death so that’s a downer. Now if you flip them over onto their backs you’re guaranteeing a catatonic state.īut here’s the thing, although they might look cute, a paper published in 2006 by the University of Southampton showed this causes a significant increase in respiration, heart rate, and plasma corticosterone. If you pick up a rabbit that is not accustomed to you, there’s about a sixty percent chance they’ll enter a catatonic state but there’s a big chance they’ll get aggressive and try to bite you. They should take notes from rabbits, they have a two-step process when faced with imminent danger. Unfortunately, their one-step defense doesn’t always work. When bitten by a red fox, ducks will play dead entering a catatonic state anywhere between 20 seconds to 14 minutes waiting for the moment to escape. And you’re right… if you’re a red fox, the natural predator of a duck. Following the chicken, you’re probably thinking all you have to do is catch the duck to force them into that catatonic state. An article in The American Midland Naturalist Journal published in 1975 by the University of Notre Dame observed fifty different ducks entering a tonic immobility state. Originally people thought putting chickens in this state was a way to relax them but it turns out this state actually happens because the chicken is in fear for its life and enters a catatonic state. But you need to make sure you do it within 30 minutes to reduce any long-term damage. This will immobilize the chicken anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, most likely because the chicken is extremely confused about what the hell is going on.Īfter they’ve entered this state you can clap or gently push them in order to wake them up, it may take a few tries. ![]() Why? Because this state can be triggered by making the chicken fear for its life and if it doesn’t know you, it’s already going to be in a heightened state of fear.īut first, you’ll need to catch the chicken, once that happens, pin its head down on the ground then draw a straight line in the ground outwards from its beak. Let’s start with chickens, unless your target chicken is a pet you have about a one hundred percent chance to induce tonic immobility. ![]() The most important thing is it’s technically not hypnosis, it’s more of a paralysis called tonic immobility and there are a bunch of animals that can actually be tricked into this state, so let’s go through a few. ![]() Did you know you could hypnotize a chicken? It’s not even a hard thing to do but before you go out and grab the first chicken that hasn’t been already deep-fried there are a few things we need to clear up. ![]()
