Bunny Or Rabbit?

[BinkyRabbit33]

This is probably a stupid question andnot reallyworth a thread of its own, but whats the difference between a bunny and a rabbit? Or are they the same? :huh

 

[Weetwoo_89]

I think that they are interchangeable. But I don't pretend to know. I use them interchangeably anyways...>.>'

I think 'bunny' is just slang for 'rabbit'.

 

[pamnock]

"Bunny" is often used to refer to a young rabbit, but the term is also sometimes used as an term of endearment for an older rabbit.

Dictionary definition:

A rabbit, especially a small or young one.

I have a shirt that says "I Love Rabbits" because "I Love Bunnies" could mean I love Hugh Hefner and his girls

Personally:

Bunny is to Rabbit as Mommy is to Mother.

The real question is:

What's the difference between a bunny and a bunnie?

Bunnie is a variant of bunny.

When someone says bunny or bunniei thinka little cute fluffy critter. When I hear rabbitI think big.

I think bunny sounds like anaffectionate way of saying rabbit

I agree with you, Angieluv.

I hate when I am out in public and talking about my "buns". I'll be like "My buns are just adorable, they go potty in their litter box and play with toys just like a puppy".


I guess I get some weird looks. I should start saying "bunny".


Does anyone else get that?:embarrassed:

LOL you better start saying bunny or you'll lose a lot of friends....

 

[undergunfire]

Hehe, I know. Maybe that is why I haven't made any new friends?

I will talk about my "buns" and people will ask "You're WHAT?!" and I say "Bunnies".....and they think I am even more weird.

Ah well....:biggrin:.

its not that easy to find people into rabbits as pets (fanatics like us) except on the computer.
I know 2 people here and one friend in Ill. that are really into rabbits.

Hye Amy-when in public, even peeps that I have known for awhile even start on a rampage of how they would cook a rabbit td me off, there's a thread on it actually somewhere not long ago. I'll find it for you, but, I have to go cook so I look for it for you. That really put a hardship between us and I stood my ground and did not budge and to this day the guy regrets it. Well, all he talks about is HIM! My husband will stick up for me about this if is shall ever come up again-it won't!

Edit: People are just very unknowledgable about rabbits-period. That's why they get one for their kids not knowing and end up as they do. I'm very glad to shove in their face-facts!:shock:
