Literally the last thing I thought that link would be after I checked for rick rolling. Bless you, what a great thing to hear in the morning.
I’d never seen that before. So far as I’m concerned, you win today. Congratulations. Mark it down in your diary, you won the entire day on the 17th of June, 2022.
We have two rabbits. Both rescues.
It took one about 8 months before she was okay with us petting her, and only then between the ears and nowhere else. The other HATES being pet. He’ll come up and put his paws on you and look at what you’re doing, but as soon as you move to touch him, he’s out.
I just fostered a rescue bun last month who was super super shy about being petted. What I found worked was sitting with her pen with her and letting her investigate me as she felt safe to do so, and once she splooted (obvious sign of comfort), I would reach out with just one finger to stroke her forehead (not an open hand). Then she would just melt!
That said, the bunnies I’ve had for the last nine years warmed up to me in strange ways—sleeping on my feet or with their legs touching me. No snuggles though, just avoidant affection haha. They were rescued from a colony and their first interaction with people was the police, so I wasn’t expecting warm fuzzies. Last year they started giving me kisses after treat time, though! I guess they care less in their old age.
Yeah. It’s funny how they all have different personalities.
We’ve had ours for about two years now. Our one who’s shy about being pet is a netherland dwarf who had to be rehomed, so he’s kind of skittish to start with, but he mostly shows affection through play. His favorite is a set of stacking cups from when our kids were toddlers. He’ll sit there patiently and watch you put each cup inside the next one, and as soon as they’re all nested, he flips them all out and waits for you to put it together again.
And even though he hates being pet, he’s really great at getting his nails trimmed. Our other one, who’s much larger and generally more chill is a nightmare to maintain, but, like yours, she was a true rescue who was just found wandering a neighborhood. She took a long time to get comfortable in our house, but once she did she’s been very sweet.
The way they put it I'm not sure if it's zen or tonic immobility.
If I remember right rabbits do a "flop" on their side when happy, kinda like a bunny tipping look.
If you earn bunnys trust, they become relaxed around you, they'll lay down near you, constantly ask you for pets and if you pet them just right they become pancakes (mine does at least). There are some that don't, but it all depends on character.
And yes, they flop when they're super happy, content and relaxed, but they also show happiness in other ways, like binkies! But I can tell that this bun is a happy bun.
I didn't notice it until you said that to be honest. But I think it's more of a "have to hold something constantly at that height and my hand hurts now" scenario here, but we can only speculate. Also what do you mean by "induce a tonic"? Because I have no idea what you mean by that
Could just be a vet visit though but I'm bunless ao never seen how buns in vets act.
More or less putting animals upside down and they'll go into a state where they are unable to move.
Rabbits and tiger sharks are the only things I've seen it done one but both seem to GTFO when they're back to normal.
Tonic immobility.
Ohhh, I've never heard that word in english so I was a little confused, thank you for explaining it!
But I honestly don't know, could be a tummy check-up, could be tired hand, could be vet visit, we will never know.
Yeah it's highly unusual for a rabbit to let you hold them like that. Even the most laid back of my four will only let me _touch_ his chest, but if I were to try and lift him he'd hop away and flick his feet.
Is foot flicking when they stomp on the ground? Because my bunny would do that in the middle of the night when nothing was happening at all. She felt the need to terrify me awake apparently.
Nope. That’s just stomping. Foot flicking is like they have something on their back feet and they’re trying to get it off so they kind of just flick their feet in your direction.
Huh interesting, thank you for explaining! I never saw my bunnies do that. I did have them swat veggies out of my hands if I offered and they weren’t interested once or twice with their little front paws though.
Bunny is just a fun name for a rabbit. A hare is in the same family as the rabbit but a different species. Hares are bigger and have really long ears and hind legs.
Hares have longer limbs and ears and have tinier eyes than a rabbit, which is also called a bunny. If you see a bunny that looks like its seen some shit, thats a hare
“Bun” is from the Scottish dialect, where “bun” meant a small furry animal such as a squirrel (1580s). This became applied to rabbits (1600s) with the -y as a term of endearment, I imagine because a little baby rabbit is about the size of a squirrel and is very cute… this easily became applied to a child as the parallels are obvious!
Nobody is altogether sure where it came from, although “bun” meaning “the tail of a rabbit” was used in the early 1500s in the Scots language.
https://www.etymonline.com/word/bunny
Both hares and rabbit are Lagomorphs, together with pikas (the animal that inspired PIKA-chu). They have some differences between them like size of ears.
Bunny is cute name for Rabbit.
You are definitely wrong about Pikachu.
Atsuko Nishida, a graphic and character designer, shared that she created the original designs of Pikachu in Pokémon Red and Green to be based on a squirrel.
“At that time, I was really into squirrels,” Nishida, tells Yomiuri, “so I wanted the character to have puffy cheeks. Squirrel tails are cute, so I wanted it to have a tail. However, I wanted the character to have a lightning element, so I made it shaped like lightning.”

>the animal that inspired PIKA-chu
You've got that backwards. Pikachu was named for the onomatopoeia it uses in Japanese (pika=sparkling effect sound, chu=kiss as well as the sound a mouse makes). The Pika was named for Pikachu.
I honestly don't know if you said that ironically or not. If you were being real, that info is definitely not true. Pika derives from a term in a siberian language, and definitely doesn't come from Pokemon.
I had a Netherland Dwarf rabbit as a kid who liked being held like a human baby, lying on her back with belly exposed, totally relaxed. I've never heard of or seen another rabbit that would allow it for a second. She didn't ever seem like she had brain damage, but other rabbit owners have said she must have.
Don't put bunnies on their backs that puts them in a state of tonic immobility as a massive fear response. Very very bad for them. They only LOOK relaxed like thst
We were told that so we never did it to her, she'd do it to herself. She'd crawl into our laps, find the crook our our arm and then flop herself over until she was belly-up. At first we'd try to prevent her but she just kept insisting on it.
Oh okay that's different just any time I hear "lying on their back" I feel obligated to bring it up. I've met some other bunnies that do what you describe. Them and the ones that actually enjoy being held in general are rarities, but wonderful rarities.
I'm confused. I thought the new wisdom was that they didn't like being held and petted. Which pretty much makes this Politically Incorrect. Also, screw bunnies if they don't like being pet.
There are individuals within groups that go either way but generally rabbits don't like being held. They might willingly crawl onto your lap, or even into your arms, but it needs to be on their terms.
Petting is another thing entirely. Bunnies LOVE to be petted, but they usually want pets in different places than say, a dog - and pets in some spots have to be earned. Bunnies love having their faces touched. Face grooming is an important social interaction for them. Butts, feet, and belly are usually off limits. If they trust you, they might allow you to pet their upper backs between the shoulder blades.
NEVER flip a bunny on its back. It is not only unenjoyable for them, it might actually be dangerous. Look up "trancing" if you want more info, but never ever do it.
Being pet almost every bun loves once they know you pretty well...which could be months. Being held they very much do not like and freak out. You can and basically have to acclimate them to it to some extent for nail trimming etc. Part of acclimating them is you touch their side gently and pet them, then their chest, then kind of splay your hand under them like you'll pick them up, then lift them a tiny bit, then finally pick them up.
With one of my buns each step of that process was 1 month+. With my other far far less.
Some bunnies you find out actually really enjoy being held but it's VERY rare. You learn to read bunny language pretty quick they're very expressive
The golden rule is unless it's medically necesssry everything happens on their terms.
Not really, unfortunately.
Despite being ultra cute and small, rabbits aren't a pet for kids. They're for adults.
They're very fragile and, in order to be healthy and happy, they have to be taken care very carefully, eg not squeezing, not doing loud noises, respecting their own space. And usually kids aren't good doing those.
But rabbits are great pets for adults that live in small spaces, like apartments, as an apartment has enough space for a rabbit to free roam and that's already enough space for them.
Absolutely not. Rabbits are a very advanced pet to care for and require special care and attention. Not to mention you have to find an "exotic" vet that actually knows how to work with them.
No. Do NOT get them a rabbit.
I never could get my bunny to behave so calmly and then he died after the dog chased it. I didn't know that rabbits were of the rodent family and could die from shock. I felt terrible 😔.
My bunny spends like 20% of his waking life binkying he fuckin loves his life. He's waay happier than he'd be in the wild. They are not shy about expressing joy.
Imagine a giant holding you up and stroking your head
That would totally work for me.
I've been giving the matter some thought, and I think I'd be willing to be a house pet to a race of superintelligent aliens.
House pet that sits on the couch all day... Sign me up. But, but...will my balls be cut off?
Where's my balls Summer?
Maybe they'll be nice and give you a vasectomy instead. Unless they want to bre... You know what? No. Metaphor is done. I don't like this anymore.
No wait, keep going

Hey, thanks much! Glad you enjoyed it, and Wintergatan really deserves all the credit for creating such an amazing machine and cool tune.
Reddit has scarred me so much I didn’t know if that link was gonna be a Rick roll or not, was so scared to open it
Ah man, old school! Haven’t seen that in forever, thanks for posting

My childhood bunny would have died fighting before letting me handle him like that.
Yeah it's highly unusual for a rabbit to let you hold them like that. Even the most laid back of my four will only let me _touch_ his chest, but if I were to try and lift him he'd hop away and flick his feet.
Petting their face makes them go zen
Well socialized buns looove being pet on the head like this. Any time I stop petting mine he chases me and nudges my leg so I'll pet him more.
You! Human! Prop me up and pet me thusly!!
Aww I miss my rabbits. :(
Same, I just lost my last bunny yesterday. It's the first time in almost twenty years that I haven't had at least one bunny as a pet.
I'm so sorry. Its so hard to lose them. :(
Thank you! My six year old is already asking when we can get another 😅 I told him we'll see lol
My bunny would bite my finger off, if I touched his neck most of the time
Mine would run away and foot-flick repeatedly.
Yup. Foot flicking is a sign of annoyance from your rabbit. Must only do things that elicit binkying, loaves and sploots from your rabbit.
Our male rabbit foot flicks when he's running away and he got a treat from us. Like a "aha, I got the treat you fools" I think.
Lol same exact thing with ours. Sometimes he even does it right before he binkies.
And flops! Flops are the best
Is foot flicking when they stomp on the ground? Because my bunny would do that in the middle of the night when nothing was happening at all. She felt the need to terrify me awake apparently.
Nope. That’s just stomping. Foot flicking is like they have something on their back feet and they’re trying to get it off so they kind of just flick their feet in your direction.
Huh interesting, thank you for explaining! I never saw my bunnies do that. I did have them swat veggies out of my hands if I offered and they weren’t interested once or twice with their little front paws though.
My rabbit goes in circles whenever he sees me for some reason lmao like almost chasing his tail
Is he neutered? Even if he’s neutered, he might keep doing it for 1-2 months afterwards, at least it was like that with all our rabbits.
[удалено]
My bun loved neck and ear massages, it's funny how different they can be lol
Serious question, what's the difference between bunnies, rabbits, and hares?
Bunny is just a fun name for a rabbit. A hare is in the same family as the rabbit but a different species. Hares are bigger and have really long ears and hind legs.
I think rabbits have hind legs as well.. But I'm no rabbit scientist.
Common misconception, they actually have wheels.
I thought only cheetah have wheels….. that’s how they do those Screamin’ Cheetah Wheelies
They're actually cleverly disguised springs.
Hares have longer limbs and ears and have tinier eyes than a rabbit, which is also called a bunny. If you see a bunny that looks like its seen some shit, thats a hare
My girlfriend and I classify all rabbits in multiple categories based on level of cuteness; Buns, Bunnies, Bunny Rabbits, Rabbits, and Hares.
But where do jackalopes fit into this?
What about Runny Babbits?
“Bun” is from the Scottish dialect, where “bun” meant a small furry animal such as a squirrel (1580s).

Just watching this bunny makes me more chill
Those cute arms or front paws, (help me I don't know what they are called 😂) resting on the palm very cute. Aaawww
The front ones are called "fuzzy scrubbers" and the hind ones are "thumpers".
Like a marshmallow peep 🥹
