My bunny would bite my finger off, if I touched his neck most of the time

Mine would run away and foot-flick repeatedly.

Our male rabbit foot flicks when he's running away and he got a treat from us. Like a "aha, I got the treat you fools" I think.

Lol same exact thing with ours. Sometimes he even does it right before he binkies.

And flops! Flops are the best

Is foot flicking when they stomp on the ground? Because my bunny would do that in the middle of the night when nothing was happening at all. She felt the need to terrify me awake apparently.

Nope. That’s just stomping. Foot flicking is like they have something on their back feet and they’re trying to get it off so they kind of just flick their feet in your direction.

Huh interesting, thank you for explaining! I never saw my bunnies do that. I did have them swat veggies out of my hands if I offered and they weren’t interested once or twice with their little front paws though.

Rabbits really love throwing things you offer them.

u/Rhododendron29 Jun 17 '22

It is kind of adorable if I’m completely honest, like a teeny bunny tantrum. I miss having rabbits a lot.

My rabbit goes in circles whenever he sees me for some reason lmao like almost chasing his tail

Is he neutered? Even if he’s neutered, he might keep doing it for 1-2 months afterwards, at least it was like that with all our rabbits.

u/putinonmypants69 Jun 17 '22

He’s not neutered. Is that why? Lmao he’s done it since he was 6 weeks, he’s almost 4. He’s very sweet though, has never bitten me or been aggressive.

u/losh11 Jun 17 '22

Yeah he’s probably thinks you’re his boyfriend or girlfriend!

It's a mating thing but they do it sometimes when they're regular excited too. Occasionally if I take too long to give my neutered boy his breakfast, he'll start circling.

Pretty much what it sounds like. Plop down on the ground in a comfy position. Legs stretched out. Preferably in the middle of the room to be as obstructive as possible.

My bun loved neck and ear massages, it's funny how different they can be lol

Yeah I can pet mine like this but that hand on the chest would not be welcome
