What do you think your rabbits call each other??

It just occurred to me on the bus that Barney probably doesn't call Roxy Roxy :? I thought he would probably call her Primrose...I think it actually suits her better than Roxy but I don't think I could bring myself to rename her that. :? I wonder what she calls Barney?
 
If bunnies do think, which i am sure they will, it will most likely be in some sort of language we would never understand. You will never ever understand how they think really unless you were a bunny.

I am sure though they would think i was just foodgiver however they would communicate that.

Dear me, this is confusing and only you could come up with such a random topic :lol:
 
Joanne, I was just thinking the same! Because if Barney has ever seen a primrose, which I don't think he has, he certainly wouldn't know what it was called. I just don't know what to think anymore. Barney definitely knows his name but I don't know if Roxy uses it. Back to the drawing board I suppose.

Slightly less random though...I used to listen to talking books about/written by Gerrald Durrell when I was a lot younger and he did a study on Tigers who he discovered had a complex language made up of sniffs. I guess it would make sense for rabbits to use a similar language as they are snuffly little things.

I so wanted Barney to call Roxy Primrose.

or they use nose twitching morse code :lol::lol:
 
I think they would have quite simple names really,

Me = the one who brings food
O/H = the one who is shouty
Nigel = the big thumpy one who likes to poo on our heads
Dougal = the one who is my rival (Nigel) the one who is my mate (Doris)
Doris = the one who is the boss (Dougal) the one who is a girl but smells of my rival (Nigel)
Colin = the one with the long tail who licks my head

:)
 
Well we always TALK like they call us mummy and daddy, but no doubt were just kidding ourselves and were "food machines":D

Im pretty sure Fae and Joey call eachother all kinds of terms of endearment as theyre forever grooming/snuggling/looking like theyre saying "here darling, let me get this bit of dirt from your fur, you poor love"

Luna calls me "in the way" a lot and gives me VERY firm nudges

We always said Sun used to call Charlie "auntie" and "matriarch"...their relationship was a lot like that:D Yes, were mad
