How to choose a name your rabbit will learn

1. Keep it short. One or two syllables are easiest for a rabbit to recognize, and you can always have a longer "full" name and a short call name.
2. Make it distinct. Avoid names that sound like words you use often ("No", "Down") or like another pet's name.
3. Watch them for a few days. Personality often suggests the name: a fast bunny might be Zoom, a calm one Willow.
4. Say it with a treat. Rabbits can learn their name when it's paired with something good, such as a favorite herb or a small piece of fruit.
5. Check you like saying it. You'll say it thousands of times, and sometimes in public at the vet.
