What should I name my rabbit?
Well, friends, you are 100% free to name your pet rabbit whatever you like. You can opt to name your bunny prior to meeting him (that’s totally fine!). Or, you can get to know your rabbit a little bit, and wait for a striking part of his or her personality to shine through. After all, the seven dwarves were all named after their characteristics… Maybe, in time, your bunny will make him/herself known as a Sleepy, a Happy, a Grumpy, or even a Bashful?
Obviously, we understand if you’d rather get the name sorted ASAP, so you can get busy playing with your new household addition. So, let’s get to it:
