The Kissing Bunny Exhibit, in some
cases known as the Rabbit Romeo, drew laughter due to its romantic
appeal.
The exhibits that toured the
country often contained only a single rabbit in an exhibit box. The
rabbit was trained to kiss a model rabbit's face. In the wild, rabbits
will often “nuzzle" things with their noses; this behavior was capitalized
upon in the kissing bunny exhibits
In 1955 the act was known as
“Sammy” and could be rented for $350 per week.
