        Hey guys! So quick update is that Leo is getting along great, I am a little hyper-vigilant about his poop and stuff though. He did destroy a cheap futon a little while back but that’s been dealt with. However as me and him have grown closer I notice something strange… He seems to be almost… mimicking my behaviours.

         

        Maybe I’m crazy but the first thing I noticed is that he adjusted his schedule to mine. I work nights and sleep until the afternoon and he seems to be only active when I come home in the morning and when I wake up till I go to work. On my days off he is active all night when I am around. 

         But then I noticed he seems to… copy me… Again I might just be seeing things but when I sit on the couch or get on the ground near him he flops and sprawls out by his cage or he’ll jump on the couch and sprawl with me. He gets up if I move and he eats when he sees me eating. He seems to like to groom me back when I am petting him, and he grooms himself when he notices me touching my hair, applying lotion or brushing my hair. Is this… I mean am I insane or can bunnies actually mimic their human owners?

            Im not really sure about the answer but I’m a nurse and also work a lot of nights and very long shifts and my bun has adjusted his routine to fit mine. At the beginning he would make enough noise for me to wake at half two every morning when the sun came up but now he’s pretty quiet until five am when I get up for work. And if I do a night, he’ll sleep when I come back and sleep and then wakes up in the middle of the day after I do!

              Yes it is true! Rabbits can adapt to your schedule because they themselves are very schedule oriented. Rabbits also can have strong bonds with their humans. My rabbit tends to know when I am eating especially if its a banana. Of course I just have to share some with her! Rabbits are very intuitive and smart. Do not underestimate the rabbit!
