Do You Call Your Bunnies By Their Given Name?

Do you call your bunnies by their given name? Do you have a nickname for your bunny or bunnies? Which name do you use the most?

Unintentionally, I've started calling some bunnies by different names. For example, I had a German Angora rabbit I named Fritz.  I think I was trying to remember the German word my grandmother used for boy, when it hit me: bub (pronounced by my grandmother as: boobp). Then I started doing squeaky, cutesy bunny voices to him and called him my little bub (boobp). He, for some reason, seemed to really react positively to it and he became: "My Boopy" or just "Boopy".

Butterscotch the English Lop

A different bunny, a big Enlish Lop, named Butterscotch (not the Butterscotch we presently have) became ButterBumble, BumbleHead and sometimes just Butter.  It's silly.

A certain Little White Bunny at age 8 or 9

One bunny, an albino dwarf, was a sweet frisky little guy who lived a very long life and only recently just passed away.  He was a bunny we could not think of a name for. For the life of us, we tried and tried. Nothing seemed fitting. So for several weeks we discussed him descriptively.  He was "The Little White Bunny".  Not sure why, with so many good names out there, we couldn't think of any.  He just decided to take the name "Little White Bunny" because that's what we always called him when talking about him, caring for him, feeding or petting him. That's what he became because he just started responding to it. It just became too late for any other name. We started calling him LWB in conversation because we felt a bit embarrassed over that name. But for 11 years, he chose Little White Bunny and always, always answered to it!




We do have other bunny nicknames, but I think those will keep for another day. Please share what your bunny's nicknames are or any great stories! Please share in the comments below!

Is Butterscotch Bunny Deaf?

Butterscotch Bunny has been in my thoughts and under my observation lately. I'm not quite sure what to think.  He and his sweetheart Jamie, a rescued Harlequin, are always cuddling and grooming. The thing is he seems to just be uninterested in other things. He lies there a lot and doesn't seem responsive to us, unlike when before he was neutered, he was overly attentive to us because his hormones seemed to surge even more than other unneutered male rabbits (like in the Buzzing Bunny video below).  I had been thinking that perhaps he was depressed or that perhaps he was too demanding of Jamie because she is extremely affectionate making Butterscotch become spoiled. But that just doesn't seem to be it.

I watched more and more.  Butterscotch seems like he might be deaf. He doesn't respond to his name or other things that seem to influence other bunnies to respond. What I think happens is that he responds to Jamie's cues. When she responds to us, he responds to her! He seems to be dependent on her.

I've been doing some "tests" of my own to see how responsive he is to noises and things that startle bunnies. I look to see if he responds on his own or if he responds to Jamie. They are inseparable, which I am glad of, especially if he is deaf. I have been blowing loud whistles, clapping my hands loud, shaking the large metal cup (with some pellets in it) that we use to give them pellets, crinkling the bag of hay- noises the bunnies respond to before they can smell the pellets and hay.  They only respond to veggie smells, so there aren't any noises from their veggies or greens that he would respond to that I know of.

I'm going to observe him more.  Butterscotch is a sweet rabbit in his own independent way and I want him to have a full life.  I am so happy he has Jamie, but if he is deaf, I want to learn how to make his life more fulfilling. What is good is that he has Jamie to help be his ears for now or while they are together, which I hope and pray is a long time!

Does anyone out there have a deaf bunny or one that is hard of hearing? Please let me know. Please share here in the comments. As I learn more, I will share it here. Anything you can share would not only be helpful to Butterscotch, but anyone else who reads these who might be dealing with something similar.

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully sharing! Would truly love to hear what you think or if you care to share any experiences!

Bunny Burrow Boutique Helps Support Trinket's Memorial Rabbit Sanctuary

Hi There,
Hoping you had a Bunderful Thanksgiving! Just here to share a special announcement with all you bun lovers!

For each item purchased made at the Bunny Burrow Boutique on Etsy  from today (Nov. 23rd, 2012) until New Year's Eve (Dec. 31st, 2012), one U.S. dollar will be given to Trinket's Memorial Rabbit Sanctuary.  

In other words, if you buy 3 items during the dates above, then $3.00 will be given to Trinket's Memorial Rabbit Sanctuary in Ceres, California.

Trinket's (as I call it) does great work. Randy Koga, who runs the rescue and cares for all the bunnies  is incredibly dedicated. He has bent over backwards to give the bunnies a great life. He cares for each bunny and gives them a great home, but also adopts them out.

The bunnies get free roam time, which not all rescues can do and receive all types of special care. There are special needs rabbits such as the bunny belle of the ball, Madison, who recently passed away, that are inspiring and receive the most wonderful care and love there.  Check out Madison's story here: Madison's Story Link

Many a Facebook fan/follower (including myself, I started bawling!) of Madison were devastated when she passed away from a kidney infection. She has been such an inspiring bunny and was becoming a sort of mischievous  "spokesbunny" for Trinket's.

Because of the special needs bunnies and other bunnies receiving needed and regular veterinary care (bunny checkups, neutering, etc.) at Trinket's Memorial Rabbit Sanctuary, Trinket's does pay a lot in vet bills.

To give you a little inspiration in making a purchase, Bunny Burrow Boutique is having a 20% off Holiday Sale starting today until November 30th, 2012 at 12am. The 20% off will not affect the one dollar donations Trinket's (TMRS) receives. Everything is automatically priced for 20% off. The sale price and the regular price both displayed!

Thanks for visiting Rabbit Slippers Blog today! Hoping you are having a Bunderful Day!
