German Easter bunnies are not busy hiding Easter eggs on Sunday; instead they are jumping fences with so much energy.

The rabbit breeders club of Bremen has organized four showcases during the Easter weekend.

Rainer Brase is the spokesman of the regional association of rabbit breeders in Bremen.

"Rabbits like to jump and we just encourage them to do what they would naturally do",

The tradition of rabbit jumping, which is much like show jumping for horses comes to Germany from Scandinavia about two decades ago.

Today "Kaninhop", or rabbit jumping is a rather organized sport with competitions in several classes and disciplines as well as a formal set of rules.
