Shaking bunny?

[queenadreena]

Do anyone elses buns shake their back legs? Like, a sort of nervous thing? Whenever I have to lie Milly on her back to clean her back paws (the dirt shows up loads, cause of her colour) her little legs start to shake, then stop. It is just due to her being on her back, or being scared or something? I'm not really worried about it, as shes perfectly healthy, just curious.

It's an involuntary reaction, no problem - you can stop it by touching the feet if you want.

Oh thats good. She always looks so scared when I have to clean her up!

She may feel alarmed & think that you are a predator trying to grasp her. Remember she does not understand what you are doing. Calm her down before & after with plenty of pets & talk to her so she knows you're her friend. Spend time with her after her cleaning. Rub noses!

Aww, yeah I always give her some greens afterwards, and let her groom her toy sheep. :love:
