I have no idea.. i never even thought of trying to train our rabbit.. we've been fairly lucky that she doesn't like to eat carpet.. altho shes never left alone long enough to see if she likes it.. most of her playtime is in the kitchen where there is no carpet. Would it be possible to give your rabbit playtime elsewhere?
If not, i think the first thing you need to figure out what tone of voice your saying "back!" in.. since its obviously getting his attention. I sometimes stomp my foot, or kick something to get our rabbits attention she shes being particularly bratty. I read somewhere that rabbits Thump to warn others of danger.. so in theory if you stomp your foot (which is difficult on carpet which is why i will sometimes kick something or knock on something) it should get his attention that 'hey, thats not a good idea!' But then again.. rabbits are stubborn little things.. and well.. sometimes prevention is just the best way to go about things. Does he have other toys? What kinds of things does he like to play with?
