Do your rabbits know their names?

Mine don't :lol:

They know food, they know head rubs and they know playtime, but they definitely don't know their names.
 
Roxy knew her name, understood when I shouted treats and would come running and understood no, she was so clever.

Poor Alvin doesn't have a clue.
 
Biffy and Brambles both come running towards me when I call them. Then once they realise i'm not giving them a treat they run off again. :lol:
 
I call Duncan by his name and he seems to respod, the girls I just call buns or Lily bun, Mimi bun.
However I tend to call them when I have a treat or food so.................:?
 
I think Loki responds to Loki-doki and Thor responds to Thor-kins (OH is a Hawkins so he is Thorkins Hawkins!) but I am not 100% sure it's not purely down to tone of voice! :lol:
 
Pretty sure they do, I get looked at when I call out names, it's always the right bunny looking over too
 
I suppose the only way is to call names without food.... maybe mine are dim but all LOVE food;)

Oh I have. I asked because they were lying down and I repeatedly called for Alfie, he didn't so much as look in my direction. They will always run over though, whether I have food or not, because they like to investigate and there might be a stroke in it for them.

I don't mind, just think it's funny and was wondering if it was my own fault because I'm very hands-off.
 
Mine dont but as soon as I shout TWEATS (treats lol) they come running, so maybe theyre just ignorant if it isnt for food lol
 
Mine come by separately if I call them by name and they both come if I shout bunnies!
They live in my bedroom though, I spend a lot of time talking to them :lol:
 
At least one of my buns knows his name. He comes running like a little dog if called for.

He can tend to go in the wrong direction at times if I'm in another room, but he gets there in the end :lol:
 
Alice knows her name and comes as soon as she's called.
Bear used to but now he only comes when I shout "Alice" too or shake the treat tin :lol:
 
I am not sure. She sometimes comes when we call her. But other times its get lost i am staying in here no matter if you want to shut the door!
