can i just ask why they aint been out , are they stock broke ?? the only way to start them is take them out on the lamp and let them run one , then you take it from there, but you might find if they miss they may not come back for a while they will be still trying to find the rabbit they missed, with mine if they dont catch; as soon as the lamp is off they know to come back ready for the next run. not all bullx's are ignorant .
