I was talking to Olly through his bars telling him what I was going to buy him next payday, saying I’ll get him some different fruits and veg to try, more hay and I was going to talk to the man in the pet shop about what the best sawdust was, now I know Olly had a bad experience at the vets, maybe he wasn’t happy he had his operation or when he had his injections, well I said to him I would ask the man in the shop about the best carry box for going to the vets, but when he heard the word ‘Vets’ he sort of played dead, when my friend came he said “Are you taking him for a check up at the vets?” Again the same thing happened, I know he knows certain words like ‘Bowl’ if I say bowl he will push his bowl to the front of his cage, ‘Food’ is another one, like if I say “I’ll get you some food.” He will get excited and push his bowl towards the front of the cage, if I say “I’ll get you some more hay.” he will look at his hay rack and if I say “Treat for Olly.” he will get on his back paws and stretch up and move his front paws, he doesn’t do this all the time but most. the other thing is I have had difficulty feeding him the last few days, but that is just me because I had a problem with Arthritic pain bending to get to his cage he has knocked the bowl out of my hand a few times, but now he does not do that, he comes to the front of the cage when it is open and when he sees me struggle or I’m taking to long he will put the back of his paws up underneath the bowl until it is an inch off the base of his cage, then look at his food and I’ll say “Go on.” then he will take it, I do know animals sense when someone needs a little help maybe it is that, also if I give him some fruit or veg through the front and again I’m struggling he will get on his back paws and stretch up and rattle the bars on the top for me to feed him through the top, but is this all normal for a rabbit who is 2 years old who hardly knows me? Is he getting used to me? The playing dead is a strange thing, but he did do it when I tried to clean him out the first time because he was not used to me.
