Interpreting Bunny Language and Sounds


If bunnies can talk then it will be really easy to deal with their problems. Unfortunately, they are not that they even keep their problem secretly since it a part of their nature. They are actually considered as prey by most other large animals. This is the actual reason about their nature why they easily get scared of anyone.

Comparing rabbits to other animal pets on how do they express themselves has a huge difference. As an example, a dog will bark if its happy and a howl means that it needs help. Sometimes they even mimic how their owners yawn in which how they show their loyalty. 

On the other hand, bunnies are silent type of creatures. Its like that they are praying not to draw too much attention as it might get them into trouble. This is actually their natural instinct of survival as a prey-animal in the wild.

Silent Rabbit

Through the years of considering rabbits as pets, experts had managed to decipher common rabbit language in the form of body-language and sounds. They can make sounds but not to the extent of catching your attention. 

It may take time for you to develop the skill of listening to the sound that they generate. Muttering and chattering are the two important factors that you need to pay attention as they play a huge part in their communications.

Noises and sounds are their primary language. It reflects their current condition if they are happy or suffering from pain. Being able to interpret the meaning of their sound, you will have a better idea about the current state of your rabbit's needs. 

Apart from being able to interpret your pet's animal language, you will get to enjoy more of your time spending together with your bunny as you can communicate with each other.

Here are some of the actions on how rabbits generate sounds and their possible meanings:

1. Soft Grinding of the Teeth

This can be hardly noticeable to be heard but if you have a quiet environment then you can easily hear the soft grinding of your pet's teeth. If it happens that you observed your pet softly grinding its teeth then it means that your rabbit is happy.

2. Loud Grinding of the Teeth

It is important that you have to know the difference when your rabbit is softly or loudly grinding its teeth. If it happens that your rabbit is loudly grinding its own teeth then it means that you pet is in great pain. This calls for an emergency trip into a vet.

3. Muttering

When your bunny is muttering then it means that it is angry or unhappy where it needs to be left alone.

4. Growling or Hissing

Just like cats, they feel terribly threatened and won't hesitate to attack when they growl or hiss. Its best to leave your pet alone until it to calms down.

5. Loud Squealing

When you suddenly find your rabbit squealing quite loud then it means that your pet is very frightened. Check for any possible culprit where an animal-attack might have been attempted. If no possible clues of an animal that tries to break in the hutch, it means that your rabbit is suffering from an extreme agony of pain which requires a vet's services.

6. Clucking a Bit Like Hiccups

If you are hearing your pet producing a clucking bit like hiccups then it means that your bunny is well contented. This is often heard when your rabbit is dozing.
