Form a 'U' handshape with your dominant hand by extending your index and middle fingers together while keeping the other fingers curled. Place the side of your hand or thumb near your temple on the side of your head. Bend your extended fingers backward twice at the knuckles, mimicking a rabbit's ear flopping.
To sign this, you would first establish the subject by signing 'rabbit' using the one-handed ear motion at your temple. Then, you can sign 'cute' and describe the garden setting to complete the thought.
Start by signing 'my' and 'pet', followed by the sign for 'rabbit'. Afterward, you can sign 'love' and 'eat', finishing with the sign for 'carrot' near your mouth to show what the bunny is eating.
Begin with the sign for 'rabbit' at the side of your head. Then, use a bent 'V' handshape to physically show the rabbit hopping across your signing space, adjusting your speed to show that it moved quickly.

Yes, absolutely! While the video demonstrates a one-handed version, it is very common to use two hands. You can place a 'U' handshape on both sides of your head to represent both ears, or cross your hands at the wrists in front of your chest.
Both signs use similar handshapes near the head, but the movement is different. For 'horse,' your thumb rests on your temple and your fingers bend forward. For 'rabbit,' your fingers bend backward to show a floppy ear.
You should always use your dominant hand for one-handed signs. If you are right-handed, place your right hand on the right side of your head. If you are left-handed, use your left hand on the left side.
