There are several breeds of rabbits with different characteristics and attributes, who will learn to perfectly recognize your voice and appearance, require attention and can even do small tricks if you reward them with incentives and care. Because of its mental and auditory abilities, the rabbit will also recognize its own name in about 10 days, however, you must be patient and have a very positive attitude to make it respond correctly.
To begin with, you have to consider the sex of the rabbit. If you still don’t know if it’s a male or a female, you can carefully place your rabbit on your back and look at your genitals. You can easily recognize the anus near the tail and then another small hole. If it is oval and very attached to the anus is female, if on the contrary there is an obvious separation and the opening is rounder, it is male.
After identifying the sex of the rabbit, we recommend that you choose a name for a short rabbit, including 1 or 2 syllables. If you choose a name that is too short, you can confuse it with other more common words in your daily vocabulary, and a rabbit name that is too long can confuse you. In addition, learning the name may take longer.
It must be a name you like, no matter if you use an English rabbit name, a human name or if you just call it “rabbit”, it must be your taste and that of anyone else.
