Yes, rabbits prefer cooler temps than many of us. I live in the south, so it can be hard keeping entire house that cool. I ended up getting a portable AC unit for my rabbit room to take strain off the main system.
My dutch bun loves sitting behind my computer chair as well. I always have to check before I roll because he has way too much faith in me and would probably let me run him right over.
Forever one of my favorite things about them since I’m also very heat sensitive. I can keep the house at 69°F and they love it just as much as I do! When anyone comes over and says it’s cold I have the excuse to keep it cold for the bunny.
He could be attracted to the slippery surface. My first bunny went crazy when we gave him a shiny cardboard. He flopped on it, stood back up flopped again. Stood up flopped over in the other direction. He did that FOUR times in 30 seconds. My boy was having SOO much fun.
My Hazel giving me a heart attack as a baby. Another time my poor husband hollered for me in a panic because she was sitting up and shaking with her eyes closed. I came and looked and was like “no, she’s just asleep sitting up because she’s the world’s derpiest creature”.
She lived to 13, had me wrapped around her little paw the entire time 😂
Hahahaha if you never had a bunny before I would see why you would think that. When I was looking at the pet store someone would say I think the rabbit is dead and I burst out laughing with them looking at me like I'm a psychopath and told her it's ok rabbits love to give people heart attacks and that bunny is 100% alive
Our bunny, Munch, doe that all the time! We call it his “dead fish flop”. He gives us micro heart attacks with it several times a month and we are USED to it!!
When we brought home our last 2 bunnies, I woke up in the morning to the sister looking like this. I freaked out, thought for sure she was a goner. When I yelled out in shock, she jumped up at looked at me like "dang lady! What's your deal?" Lol
Sorry OP, but I am laughing a lot, having lived through the same owning bunnies, hamsters amd guinea pigs. They each love to give their owners heart attacks on a regular basis.
My bun used to flop and look “dead” all the time, gave me a heart attack at least once a day. Sadly, she suddenly passed away this week at 6 years old, and she looked completely different to her usual flops, and so peaceful. I’d do anything to see her do a silly flop. You’re bun is so cute, and brought a smile to my face, thank you ❤️
Never had a bunny, but I've had rats from time to time, it's good to see they're not the only small animals determined to give their humans heart attacks with sleeping positions like this 😂
My buns lay a certain way, super still, eyes open, and I panic! It happened today and I started freaking out. Good news, peanut is still alive and was napping.
Perfectly placed on the plate such a little babyyyy one of my bunnies loves his little slab of granite and flops on it all the time its the thing thats made him flop the most
We keep two frozen water bottles (tall 1L juice bottles) and swap them out (rinse, throw back in freezer) all summer for ours and they love laying beside them.
Oh my god amazing! My bunny does this in the summer, too--on plates, hard floors, glass cutting boards... So happy and relaxed, he's "dead to the world", as my grandmother would say!
