Dr. Hopps

What is your rabbit actually saying?

Bunny Translator

A few seconds of video is enough. Dr. Hopps reads what changes between the frames — the binky, the thump, the flop, the freeze — and tells you what your rabbit said, and how it knows.

Why this exists

Your rabbit just did something strange and you have no idea what it meant

The flop that looks alarming and is contentment. The thump in the night. The dead-still freeze people read as calm when it is the opposite. Rabbit body language is genuinely counter-intuitive, and the widely repeated version of it on the internet is largely folklore.

What it does

  • Reads a few seconds of video — movement, not a single frozen pose.
  • Names the behaviour it saw: binky, zoomies, thump, flop, chinning, periscoping, freeze.
  • Shows its working. No named observation means no translation — a caption with nothing behind it is fiction.
  • Exports a subtitled, watermarked clip, which is the version worth actually posting.

What it will not do

This reads behaviour, not health. A rabbit can be behaving normally and be ill, and anything that worries you outranks any translation on this page.

It reads movement, and it drops the folklore

Body tension is the signal that holds up statistically; ear position is non-specific and only supporting, and half-closed eyes on their own correlate with almost nothing. This is built on that distinction rather than on the ear-position charts that circulate everywhere — and because it reads a sequence rather than a photo, it can tell a freeze from a rest, which a still image cannot.

Read your rabbit's face too

Free, and the clip never leaves your device — your phone sends still frames, not the video.
