In Bunny Terms

[LittlePuffyTail]

I was hanging with my bf, Ricky, while Stormy was out for his run time. I was using words like “Binky” and “Zoom”. Ricky was like “are those actual, scientific terms or did you just make them up?” I thought it would be fun to list some terms for bunny actions. Some are universal, some I made up. Feel free to add to the list any I’ve missed or some you’ve made up. Post pics of the actions if you have some!

 

* Zoom (bunny sprint)

* Binky

* Bunny Flop (one second bunny is standing, then flat out relax mode)

* The Stink Eye (you will experience this evil look after administering meds, trimming nails, etc)

* The Bear Rug (bunny lounging with front and back legs outstretched)

* The Helicopter (crazy ear position, most common among Holland Lops)

* The Disapproval (see examples at http://www.disapprovingrabbits.com)

* The Chinning (action used to claim any and all items laying about)

* The Statue (bunny freezes with ears up, listening to impending threat like sirens outside or barking on tv)

* The Bunch (bunny does this with socks or tshirts left on the floor, reason unknown)

* The Wiggle (tail wiggles rapidly, usually upon being chased by the human, similar to a child sticking his tongue out, very bratty)

* The Stretch/Yawn Combo (my personal fave, very hard to catch on camera)

Variations of the Classic Binky:

* The Twisty Binky (bunny lands in opposite pre-Binky position)

* The Standstill or “Popcorn” Binky (highly adorable)

* The Double or Triple Binky (only very talented buns can pull this off)

The Bunny Butt Very similar to the “Stink eye”

The Bunny Ninja The sneaky creepy walk they do when they think you can’t see them, going somewhere they aren’t allowed

The Ballerina The graceful outstretch of the hindleg in front of them, for grooming or showing off

Happy Hops Another term for binkies

The Duck When in the loaf position

I forgot about the loaf position. I call it “the Easter Egg”.

I saw this posted once somewhere (probably here – where else do I ever go online?) and I was hysterical.

It has everything.

(And if you find a word for when the bunny is no where to be seen, and you’re calling and calling, and then *Poof* they’re sitting there at your feet like “I’ve been here the whole time, what’s your problem?” let me know what it is.

Sammy is getting very good at that.

^^ WE could name that Ninja bunny and rename my other term!!

Oh wow, Bunnitate…we spontaneously arrived at the same name for the same thing! LOL, this list is so funny.

“Bunny burrito – Wrapping a rabbit in a towel with only the nose sticking out, so that it cannot slash your throat out when you try to trim its toenails.” LMAO! I still have scars where Layla tried to rip out my throat when I first tried to cut her nails in August.

Super-bunny – when bunny stretches back legs out when sleeping. Also known as bun-frog. (LPTs Bear Rug Bunny)

Commando bunny – same as K&K’s ninja bunny.

Bunnitate – when bunny sits up straight, closes it’s eyes and sways slightly for no apparent reason. Very similar to human meditating.

“commando” bunny- made me think of a naked bunny!  LOL, though I guess they are always “naked”.  But guys that go “commando” are not wearing any underwear!

[(dig)x(me)x(now)]

I was gonna add bunny 500 but it’s on that other list – we should start our own bunny glossary for the website forums!
