Meet Mickey! My Summer Bunny

[Karen]

Aww, has he taught you the universal standard bunny petting technique yet? Take two fingers, start at his nose, and run up toward his ears. Miss Hoppy taught us that, and every bunny I have met ever since has loved it. A year or so ago, there was a bunny at the Petco for some pet adoption event, he came to the front of the hutch, and I petted him like that, and he instantly melted into "happy bunny" pose. The woman with him said, "Wow, you sure know how to pet a bunny!" So I explained who taught me!

Awww! He hasn't Karen, but I'll have to give that a try. I have stroked his head, ears, and back and whenever I touch him, he freezes. I don't know if it's a "oh crap she's touching me!" response or a "oh that feels nice" response.

What's the 'happy bunny' pose?

The "happy bunny" is when it seems like he's hunkering down, and just relaxes into it. Given a few days, I bet you'll get that response!
