Bunderful Bun Facts!

Do rabbits really use "language?"

Well, scientifically speaking, no. One of the primary characteristics of language is syntax. Syntax means that words are put together into phrases using ordering rules that affect meaning. It's part of grammar.

The scientific term for how rabbits communicate is "signaling." Signals don't necessarily have to be presented in a particular order. They can change meaning under different contexts, though, and that certainly is important in rabbit communication.

Nonscientifically speaking, though, a language can be any system of signs, signals and utterances that are used to communicate. Under that definition, anyone would agree that rabbits have a very sophisticated language for a non-human species.

and our Bunderful Bun of the Month!

--> Autumn! <--

I'm a large, beautiful, easygoing bun who would be a great companion for a special human or boy bun who needs some love (check out my handsome neighbor, Confucius!). I'm very calm and steady. Just right for a mellow human. (We can sit by the pool and drink Pina Coladas.)

I'm a very special rabbit girl.

I'm already spayed and litterbox trained too. On 8/1 I weighed 8.14 lbs and my humans say I'm full grown.
