[kathy5]

Rabbits are active at dawn and dusk and sleep midday and midnight, although I rarely catch my buns actually asleep,they are mostly just dozing in their little beds.

:yeahthat

I have never saw my rabbits asleep apart from when they were tiny babies, Pebble used to fall asleep in your hand, it was so adorable:inlove:

Because rabbits are prey animals, it's unusual to find them asleep, especially when they are in new surroundings. They're always "on alert".

It took my girls a year or so to trust us enough to sleep in our presence. Now they are like little sleeping beauties all the time!

Toby has been here close to two years and I've never seen him sleep. He's a very nervous little boy. He's blind,so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it.

One of my mini lops whos name is rex (confusing isnt it) He "flops"when he wants a rest. he throws himself on his side and just "flops"its very funny 2 see him do this.:sleep:

Around mid morning-lunchtime he will sleep.

He actually looks dead and has scared the daylights out of me many times though now i know his nana nap times and expect him to be like that. He also must dream cos he will be twitching his face and his eyes will flicker but still be asleep. its very cute 2 see

My three must be the laziest bunnies around...

Baxter sleeps all the time, conked out on his side, ears every which way or flat on his stomach with feet straight out behind him.

Zeke is either on or off. He will run around and be active,then zonk, asleep and too lazy to move. He sleeps either on his side or in a bunny ball.

Wildfire sleeps in a bunny ball most of the time, I rarely see her flopped out on her side.

They are sleepy from about 10 am till about 4pm then active till about 10pm.
