Look at her (the rabbit), Those long ears! Aren't you a cute, fuzzy wittle wabbit?
I couldn't find the meanings of wittle and wabbit.
Thanks,

This would be a throwback to Bugs Bunny cartoons. Elmer Fudd, a character, had a speech impediment. And he would say widdle wabbit for little rabbit.

It's also how young children say it. 'Wittle wabbit' is easier to articulate than 'little rabbit'.

I find "wabbit" to be a common pronunciation of "rabbit" from young children. I'm really not sure about "wittle" instead of "little". In BrE, the standard child-like way of saying "little" is "ickle". I realise that doesn't give the same effect as starting both words with "w".

It's babytalk, which people often resort to when talking to animals.
