Owning rats, or as some say, being owned by rats, is a journey. For me it began with being intensely rat-phobic to where I am now, rat-obsessed (ok, i admit it).
Bunnyman got his wierd name because he is a weird rat and he has weird rat parents. I wanted a name that captured his sweetness and his craziness and he has these unusually big back feet and hops around like a bunny rabbit when he plays so I thought "Bunny".John (my SO) said "nope...sounds like a girl's name, that won't work". He was thinking names like "Chopper" and "Spike" because he said that B-man looked like he came from the wrong side of the tracks with his wacky hair and sort of manly burliness.
"Well, what could we add to Bunny to make it sound more manly?" I asked.
Bunnyman.
I laughed so hard, but you know, in some wierd way it fit and so it is.
