Hey everyone! I have a couple small concerns about my 9 week old girl, Phoebe Mae. We just let had her out of her cage for half an hour or so and she was binkying up a storm- I've never seen so much binkying! It was very cute (oh and I got video). When I put her back in her cage for bed time, her nose was running a little and she flopped down breathing hard, nose wiggling like mad for a while. Was she just out of breath from all the playing? I'm pretty sure that she was having fun running around playing and wasn't terrified or anything. Also, she chins everything! Is that normal behavior for a rabbit so young? Am I going to have a territorial monster on my hands in a few months? Cinnabun and Rory never chinned, Tallulah did it a few times and I've only seen Skyler chin Phoebe Mae's cage.

Thanks in advance!
 
On the mad nose wiggling thing - Penny does that sometimes. After running around she will go lay down and her nose will be wiggling and she will look as though she's breathing faster. After a while it slows. She's always done this so it doesn't alarm me but it is way different than my other bun. My guess with her is that it's not only greater exertion but also greater excitement or alertness and then she relaxes. I'd be interested to hear what others say cuz she's always done this and I've always wondered a bit about it.
 
Yeah, probably just because of the excitement, then got the moisture from her breath on her nose.

Might just be a baby testing out new stuff :D. Boy they grow up fast.. too young to be a little territorial queen haha! :D

I need to go hunting for this video now!
 
SOme with Toula! she does mad mad mad bunny bikies. its kinda creepy and she kicked my 5yr old cousin in the head with one of her binkies lol!
