Yes, the UPS man just drove by and delivered them, and I had them unwrapped in a flash. And then it finally dawned on me: working with the clicker and the target stick at once will be difficult. What am I supposed to do -- juggle? How am I supposed to have treats ready in one hand, clicker in one hand, and target stick in one hand? I do not have three hands, I only have two. I guess I will have to manage the clicker and the treats from the same hand. This is going to be very interesting, and I have a feeling that my rabbits are quick enough to catch on that I don't have great control over the treats -- and then try to cheat to get more! Well, trust should come first. I shouldn't anticipate that they will do naughty things. . . .
Juggling?

Try holding the clicker
Try holding the clicker against the target stick and handling the treats in the other hand (and try holding the stick between the 3 and 4th finger and your palm) You can also try like you said above (that's what I prefer). Take time to practice this without the rabbits...toss the treats into a plastic cup or a pile on a table, so that you can get used to handling everything before you add in the task of training as well.
Have fun!
