I am sorry, at the moment I can’t find post about how De gave carrots to Leonard who complained about his bunny ears.

Here’s the relevant passage in From Sawdust to Stardust: The Biography of DeForest Kelley, Star Trek’s Dr. McCoy by Terry Lee Rioux:
Kelley remembered: “When we first started Star Trek, and I mean it was during the first episode, Leonard Nimoy and I went to lunch together, and Leonard had his ears on, which he at the time was not too keen about [and] was very worried about it, and he was telling me that he was concerned… and sometimes felt like a rabbit. We had a bunch of celery sticks and carrot sticks that were on the table, and so I picked up a couple of carrot sticks and handed them to Leonard. He said, ‘De, don’t ever do that to me again.’ But those ears finally became a very important thing to him, didn’t they?”
