The Rabbit Thread

As it's rabbit awareness week, and one if their campaigns is 'a hutch is not enough' it was perfect timing to convert the shed ready for the foster check on Thursday...

It was full of junk I didn't even know we had!!

Went to a picnic this weekend for a local bunny adoption group. It was BYOB - Bring You Own Bunny. It was the first time I've ever been able to take Flash outside and get him on a harness and leash to walk in the grass. Putting the harness on him is a two person operation, so I was never able to do it before.

He spent about two hours walking around in the grass, sniffing everything, munching on grass, leaves, and weeds. He sniffed some other bunnies, but didn't really interact with them very much. He was having a great time. I finally put him back in a pen to rest and eat his normal food and hay, and he was pretty happy.

But then I tried to pull him back out a little later to go on the leash again, and something freaked him out right away. I ended up putting him back in his carrier, and he sat there being grumpy the rest of the afternoon, not even leaving the carrier to walk around the caged pen that it was in. I'm still not sure what scared him. He may just have been getting tired at that point, since all this took place during the time when he'd normally be taking his afternoon nap.

All in all, it was a fun event. I got to meet a bunch of other bunnies and their pet humans. And much to my pleasant surprise, the pot luck picnic lunch specified to bring vegetarian only food on the invite, and it was mostly vegan.

Oh my goodness! They are so cute/adorable/beautiful! Lucky bunnies!
 
Hey guys. As a new to rabbits carer with the above foster bunnies, I have a question.
The boys are the most confidant rabbits I have ever seen. Not scared of humans whatsoever. Very curious in their new home. But occasionally act very 'skitish' (that's the word I'm going to use). One at a time they will go from sitting completely still to sprinting, leaping in the air and kicking their legs out. Then grind to a halt and act like nothing occurred.
Sorry if I haven't described this very well but I'm hoping/guessing u guys know what I mean.
Is this just them being excited and playing? Or are they nervous? I had thought if it were nerves they would somehow 'warn' each other or they would both be spooked at the same time but it's almost always one at a time.
I'm also worried about them hurting themselves by running into something/another when they do this? Xxx
