  I definitely have it confirmed now, Nova knows and comes to her name! I never knew rabbits could learn their names! I don’t know why, it just seems amazing to me. I mean, I know they’re smart, but I guess I’m just tickled at the way she comes when I call her name just because she can, not for food. I don’t know if I’ve read that they could learn their name, but if I have I guess I didn’t believe it until now. The attached video link sort of shows her running towards me when I called, but it’s not very good and there’s not much sound.

  Do your rabbits come when they’re called?

  when they want to… i think i confuse mine because it’s usually coupled with “dinner” or “treats”, so i don’t always know what they’re responding too…

  ^^ Ditto!! LOL
  
  My first bun used to come when called no matter where she was or what she was doing -if she was being naughty I had to call a few times but she always came. Rupert gives me the butt when I call him , Kahlua will run out but not come to her name

  Haha, so Rupert knows his name but is offended by it’s use.
  
  Thats great LBNF that you’ve taught Nova her name! I’m still trying to work on Layla learning her name. She comes to me when I call for Charlie because he comes and she follows, however if I call her I just get two bunnies looking at me in confusion.

  My buns actually learned several words in addition to their names; such as, No, Yes, Go-Home, Snack, and Go-Find-Your-Boy (the boybun was particularly attached to our son). But I had to be very careful (and teach all ther other family members) to use only certain words. If we said No on one occasion and Stop on another, it wouldn’t work.
