    I know for a fact that one of my rabbits knows his name and that one of my other rabbits apparently thinks her name is “good girl”. I’ve tried to name train her but she doesn’t respond well to Clover. She might just respond more visibly to good girl because she gets good girled when she’s being such a good girl though. But I couldn’t find my Wally so I said his name a few times and he just came running over, and normally will turn one ear towards me if I say his name.

    My cat, at 18, should definitely know his name but I’ll be damned if I know how to verify that he does. He’ll give me a death glare no matter what I say to him.

    Edit: ok I just tested Clover and she turned her ear to me so apparently she goes by both Clover and good girl. I got the expected reaction from Wally, and the 3rd rabbit Beignet didn’t react, but he only reacts to treats anyways so I’m pretty sure he knows I’m talking to him and doesn’t care. He’s probably part cat.
