  My Frankie is 2 months old since May 12th. And is a hotot dwarf.
  
  My first rabbit (1 year 7 months old) learned his name within a week or two. But Frankie does not even flench when we call him, will it just take time? Or is the something else i should do.
  
  I’ve never had 2 bunnies at the same time so i am worried they will get confused with names … Will they?

  I wouldn’t think so (get confused that is), they are pretty smart about names. It’s whether they chose to acknowledge them
  For the first few months of their lives I am sure my little girls thought their names were.

  Thankfully they now appear to recognise their real names.

  Roberta, that’s hilarious! For a while it was the same with us, where we were convinced Foo thought her name was NoFooNo.
  
  You can try to teach Frankie his name by calling him by it and then offering him a treat if he responds. Use him name a lot when you’re interacting with him. It took Foo a little over a month to definitely know her name, but I don’t know if that’s a long time or not.
