Rabbit Talk

I've been reading some information on talking to & understanding rabbit behaviour to better understand & communicate with Phillip.
It's a long read but some parts had me positively sniggering (not good @ 5am lol) - especially the bit about wriggling your nose/lip & the fact that your family/friends will think you've gone mad.

If anyone has time to read through I'd love to hear opinions on this site & if the information seems accurate.
Some of it I've come across already & there's a lot of things mentioned that Phillip has done & I didn't know what they meant before.. like him licking my sofa next to me but hardly licking me :lol:

Also, if anyone has their own ways to communicate with & understand their bunnies too it would be great to hear them
Oo & if you know any other good websites like this too

that is brilliant! :lol:

When Fudge comes over for a nose rub she puts her head on the floor sometimes instead of rubbing her nose with my hand i use my nose and start rubbing from the tip of her nose in circles and rub under her ears, behind her neck and her cheeks and she loves it. she does her tooth purring

So when she licks me i grind my teeth to make it sound like her tooth purring and she now kisses me all the time because she realised i liked it

I communicate well with Fudge, i know when she is happy, sad, angry scared and ill or in her mental playful moods :roll:

I can pretty much guarantee that information will be accurate. Jay and John who run ebony eyes are very knowledgeable about bunnies (as well as having a fab sense of humour!) They are fab people.

That's the one I read and re-read over and over when I adopted Barney. I love learning about rabbit behaviour and the way their minds' work, it's fascinating and it feels like learning another language. Only... unlike learning French bunny talk is so much easier and has better rewards. :lol:

This is amazing, really says a lot that my rabbit already does. She really loves having her head stroked and loves licking us. I am going to try the respect things, as she does chew things she shouldn't.

Thanks for your relpies everyone.. I can't wait to try out some of this stuff & see how Phillip responds.

I'd do anything to help him feel happier, even if it does make me look silly.. I don't care :lol:

The things we do for our bunnies huh?

I think it also explains why my son got bitten by Phillip the other day too, he decided after weeks of being in the same room playing his xbox & ignoring Phillip (you know what kids are like) that he wanted to spend some time with Phillip - & he got grunted at and bitten :lol:
Silly kid decided to do it when I wasn't in the room, but he's learnt the hard way to show bunny some respect :lol:
