Don't ya love it that with rabbits? So manyquestions seem to answer with "all of the above". Buck'srabbits honk/oink at him when they get angry, while others use it as asign of affection. No wonder why we're all a little"off".

Another good site isbelow. It's got some great information on what their behaviors mean.

That's what Smore does when she is really excited and is breathing hardor fast. More of a squeaking than a whistle. At first I was concernedthat she might have a respiratory issue, but she only does it once in awhile. As soon as she calms down, she's as quiet as can be.

Vash will snort/oink when he is happy or wants toplay a game likekeep away. He will dosomethinglike pull on my pantleg then snort and binky awaylooking behind to see if I will chase him. After I "catch"him he will snort and do half-binkies then take off again.Silly bunny.

Anubis was amusing the kittens and myself lastnight. All of a sudden I heard a honking buzzing noise,almost like an athsma wheeze at first. The kittens werestaring at 'Nubi's crate and Nubi was in a psuedo dead bunnypose. I walked over, and noticed 'Nubi's lips werevibrating. Sure enough, once I opened the door the noisestopped and he ran over for some lovin.

Silly bunnies!
