Cracking the Rabbit Code -Understanding Behavior

Rabbits have a language all their own. From binkies to thumps, here’s how to decode your bunny’s behavior and bond like never before. 

Happy Bunny Signals 

Ever seen your rabbit do a joyful jump and twist in the air? That’s called a binky, and it means pure happiness! Similarly, if your bunny flops onto their side, it means they’re ultra-relaxed. 

Under Pressure 

Thumping their hind legs? That’s your rabbit saying, “I’m scared or annoyed!” It’s a warning sign that something in their environment needs attention. 

The Art of Nosing 

If your rabbit nudges you with their nose, it’s either a sign of affection or them saying, “Hey, pay attention to me!” It’s their way of initiating interaction. 

Chewing and Digging 

Rabbits love to chew and dig—it’s instinctive! Provide safe chew toys and dig-friendly areas so they can express these natural behaviors without destroying your furniture. 

Understanding your rabbit’s behavior helps build trust and ensures a harmonious relationship. Listen to what they’re trying to tell you!
