Bunny Binkies -- Finally!!

[cirrustwi]

Elvis has been with me for just about 6 weeksnow, although it seems like he has been here forever. He settled inreally quickly, but has always been really laid back, until last night.He was having his usual time out of the cage, and for some reason, hedecided to be a crazy man. He was binkying all around the room and justhaving a great time. It was great. I was so happy.

All the other bunnies were looking at him like he was nuts and Daisy,well, she was just mad. She kept bouncing off the sides of her cage andthumping. She is such a drama queen...she ONLY loves her Sage.

congradulations! Briar did some when i first gothim and he did them in the outdoor pen. He was a constant cage bunnypreviously. He did a few binkies, haven't seen one since:?. I guess ineed to add some "spice" to his life! There has been some bad weatherthough.

Here is the description from the Cheat Sheet...

Binky: Expression of happiness by arabbit. "When a rabbit binkies, it jumps into the air and twists itshead and body in opposite directions (sometimes twice) before fallingback to the ground."http://www.muridae.com/rabbits/rabbittalk_binkies.html

it is where they are happy, and either run or doit in place and twist their heads and necks doing a sort of oddhalf-twirl very quickly.

Shawn thought I was insane that a rabbit running around like a crazy thing would make me so happy.

Elvis is such a wonderful bunny, he gave me kisses on day 1, but Ihaven't gotten any more of those, although, I also got chinned lastnight. LOL Someone dumped him on my friend's porch. I can't believesomeone would do that to such a sweet guy.

LOL! Pipp's the opposite. I had givenher togiveto a friend who had the idea that bunnies should be'naturalized' and kept her outside in the yard with an open hutch andrun of the garden. She brought her back for me tobabysit a few months later, and Pipp binkied all over the house fordays! (I was also showered with kisses). My friendtold me at her place she had never binkied,onlythumped. No way was I giving herback!

(I keep meaning to find my friend an outdoor bunny, but...)

I need more room for Pebbles when sheblinkies. She would crash into walls, bounce offboxes, jumps and lands on her toytubes. Sometimes she jumps up so high she lookslike a ballerina. Other times she would spin 180 * in theair. She would zig zag all over theplace. What a crazy bunny!

Rainbows!

Heh! Pebbles has always sounded a lot like Pipp.They'reboth fine looking bunnies, too! (Must bethose Canadian Dwarf genes).


PS: Okay, they're both a bit klutzy, but that's part of what makes them so adorable.

Good Job, Cirrustwi! Elvis was doin the pelvis move, ey? Congratulations! It's official...baby loves his home and his mom.

Everytime my rabbits binky, you'd think it was the first time I'd seenit because I just can't get enough of how cute and funny it is.

This is only the beginning! :dude:

The first time Briar binkied, i thought he was having convulsions:shock::shock:

Ellie, lol

He was binkying around the room again last night.Daisy had an absolute fit. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with her.I might have to move her cage if she continues. She also tried to biteSaphy though the bars when he was playing. She has become a nastygirl!! She will only tolerate Basil and Sage (but she loves him). Imight need to move cages around so she had to deal with the others.Right now her cage is between Basil and Sage.
