The language of lagomorphs

[irishmist]

In the stickies there is a post on the language of lagormorphs...it is so interesting!

We have been trying alot of the responses and actions to communicate with our bunnies.

The funniest is the nose wiggling.. It is just too funny... I sit infront of my bunnies, right down to their level and start wiggling mynose at their speed and slow it down, stop and go fast. Asyou are doing this the bunnies nose does the exact same thing as you!

You should try it!

Another that works very well is when you give them your back when youare upset by one of their actions... They do not like it very much andwill apologize for their actions.

We printed out this article and use it as our bible. It is really amazing how smart these little guys are.

That was Buck's favorite website in allof his research on rabbit language. He made sure to print it outbecause he'd say that you never know when it may not be around and hewanted to make sure to have a copy for his rabbit binder.


It really is The Best there is. :blueribbon:
