One of my rabbits 100% knows her name and is just choosing to ignore it. She gives me a side eye then just carries on. The other... I love her but she's not the smart one in their duo 😂

My Chippie responds to his name even from another room and when called by other of my family memebers. We keep consistent in calling him (with treats in the beginning) everyday. Now even without treats he comes as well. When we haven't had the treat ready, he just seats there and waits. If it takes longer, he would nudge our feet like asking: 'excuse me, you called me here!' He also responds to other words like 'come here' and 'no'. So, keep trying! Buns understand you!

My rabbit Paul-Anka will come running like a bullet from the other room when I call his name😂 It's so cute!

[kaylashell]

Yes my bunny knows his name every time I call he comes running thank you for your videos!!!

[melodymurphy]

My bun, Hairy Styles knows his name when he’s getting into mischief and I catch him! 😂

[MxAndromeda]

My rabbit responds to the words "dinner" and "salad" better than she does her name xD

Thank you so much! You're the most real bunmom on the internet, because you show the other side of everything too! Love you and cinnabun a lot!

When I trained my bunny(Herbie) I taught her verbal commands and physical commands with my hands. She pick up quickly, and that was one of our bonding times together.🐰🐇

Love Cinnabun Sundays . Hector and Winnie totally know their names even if they cant see me they come and find me ...its the cutest 🐇🐇

My rabbit thinks his name is Hey Bunny! Lol when I say that he comes running.

[hils]

I would say yes - my 2 buns come when called about 90% of time

[Saebrin_]

I feel that my boys know their name, because I will be sitting out of view and call their name and they will come running out... Although I usually do have some sort if snack for them lol❤

[crystalanderson]

My bunnies know their names. When I say their names they either look at me or will come running. Bunnies are so smart and are the best. I love your channel and Cinnabun is so adorable 😍🥰❤️

I just learned about Pavlov’s theory in my phycology class. This is called classical condition. Bunnies are very very smart. Cinnabun will definitely learn to come when her name is called in no time 👍🏾 behavior is learned over time so she just needs a little more time :))

My bunny will move his ears when I say his name and if I say it again he’ll come running cause I thinks I have something to offer…but when I don’t pet him or give him a treat he leaves!😂 though when I do say dinner or breakfast he’ll come cause he knows I will have his veggies! Love ur vids!❤️

Good experiment! I think it's possible yes, but also may depend on the rabbit. I have 2 bonded house buns, Banksy and Buttercup. I used the same approach with both of them, but with elevated pitch/ faster pace in my voice, followed by a kissy sound. Did this with both buns about 3 years ago to train.... But only Buttercup learned her name and comes when called. Banksy couldn't be bothered, lol! I still keep trying though... 😅

[valchonok]

Oh, great! thanks! You have fully confirmed my assumptions. I thought it was because minilopes are often a little deaf.
My rabbits respond perfectly to gestures. For example, they are well trained to run up when I slap my shin with my palm or make a beckoning movement with my hand. But they completely ignore and do not differentiate voice commands. I also assumed that this was due to the fact that they communicate with each other only with body language.
When i call a rabbit in the same room with him, it seems that he is running to a voice command. But experiments with another room show that the voice command does not work.

My bunny is extremely "skittish" she thinks she is feral but she is such a diva!!😅 She DEFINITELY knows her name especially when she has done some mischievous like throwing out ALL her bedding😂🤣♥️🐇🐰
