You can train Gweith Gray to learn his name. Find a piece of fruit or veggie that your rabbit especially loves. Set aside some time where you can give him undivided attention, and do it in a quiet space. Use the treat to get his attention, and when he looks at you, say his name and give him the treat immediately. You can do this eight to ten times per session, and do a couple of sessions a day. By doing this, he should learn his name relatively quickly. I hope this helps :-)
