I love it when Beeslee does the bunna floppies as I call them. She even lets me come up and pet her now when she is like this. It so funny to watch because one minute she is straight up then pow she’s on her side with her legs up in the air . I would love to see other floppies from everyone if you have any. Please share! They sure do make me smile
I cannot express how much I love floppies! They rival binkies in their cuteness! Xiao Pang used to flop straight down, and it looked like her legs just all gave out at the same time. Calypso and Echo both do the side flops, which just make me melt. Even on the worst day, a bunny flop can make me smile. I haven’t gotten pics of any flops yet because my camera is broken, but one day… one day. lol
Bunna floppies scare me. 0_o
Mimzy hit the deck so hard the other night he got Fiver thumping. I had to reassure both of us that Mimzy was still breathing.
Fiver goes over like he was shot. He gets this funny little shiver, lands on his side hard, his legs stiffen and he stretches out and then grabs his toy apple plushie and snuggles it. I have yet to get it on camera. >.<
Pip is too high and mighty to flop. Really, the indignity!
Monkey does those, but only in her water dish lol. She’ll be sitting there and then all of a sudden, she’s on her side then rolling over in the dish. Never lasts long enough to grab the camera, and she’s usually then upright again, drying herself off. Dorky bun.
OMG so cute Desma!!!
Yea it took me awhile to catch this floppies on camera. Left it out on my nightstand so that I would have it handy when she did it. I also got Beeslee used to letting me pet her. I did this so that I could get close and be able to snap a pic before she sat back up. Lots and lots of patience but it paid off because now I can go right up to her and snap the pic! Keep trying Lara!!!
MinzMum – Oh my that would be a cute pic of him snuggling his apple plushie!!!
Monkeybun that’s one wet buns LOL!!
*UGGGG* I must have edited this now 3 million times to get my words correct! I think it’s time for bed LOL!
Anya was trying last night, she would flop go “nope that does not feel right” get up and try again, after about 4 attempts she gave up and curled up in a ball like normal
YOu are so lucky!!
My bunnies dont like taking pictures. “Please, no more pictures!!” They would be flopping and as soon as I walk in with camera, they get up. Or maybe it’s their way of posing for camera. “I don’t want my butt to look big”
I’ve had Pepper for more than 3 years now and I’ve only ever seen her flop twice. She also sleeps sitting up or loafed with her eyes open, so she’s just not a very relaxed bun.
It tough for me to get flop pictures…Chubs ONLY does it when he’s sleeping and he seems to have a keen sense of when I have a camera… I haven’t seen Comet do one yet either. They both love the lay straight out with their feet behind them position though That’s pretty cute too.
This is an older pic of Cotton- but she still sleeps like this ALL the time. When I first got her I used to have to check to see if she was still breathing- it scared me at first. I think she is such a diva she is comfortable sleeping however she likes and no one would dare “mess with her” while she is sleeping.
Found another pic of Cotton all flopped out!
eeeee! I bet Cotton sleeps sooooo well with that ear acting like an eye mask : D
I just love all the pics! After a bad day at work this sure cheers me up!!!!
Does anyone else “rate” their bunnies flops and loafs??? My husband and I always joke around and point out cute behaviors by saying “Wow, the rare tucked loaf position where you cannot see the front feet, what great form- I would give that a 10 just from the level of difficulty”. No matter how common the position or ease of position- my bunnies always score high due to the cuteness factor- but I like to say it is their skill and rarity that makes the scores so high!
LOL, Katnip.
I know I’ve posted this one like a zillion times, but it’s the best one so far.
My flop pic has to be of Nadia since she has a leg that was broken and fused outright that when she hops around, it looks like she has a kickstand and when she flops, well, you can see…
I think the best flops go to Dexter in the bonding thread with Davey and Delilah. Now that bun can flop!
Does this one count? Miffy finally is staring to relax!
Katnip – love the ratting – will have to try it!!!
Kay is a loud flopper – I can hear it in the other room – Tee hee hee!
It took me forever to get a photo of her flopped. But she is recently staying flopped for much longer times. It use to be only a few seconds, now it is a few minutes!
The best is when she floppies around Winston – he fits (meatloafed) right inside her outstretched legs – so incredibly cute.
A classic
::stretch::
This was last Christmas when he was a baby. He’s much bigger now!
Remy will flop/roll over and then immediately put his head aright. When Momo flops/rolls she stays down for the count for a while. Ultimate comfort. I’ll try and get a picture tonight
i love your guys’s pictures!
Leroy flops all the time =) Let me go find some pictures of him… he always wakes up when I come towards him with a camera – I swear, they know! – anyway, that’s why he has a half dazed look his face in both the pictures saying “moooommm, leave me alone!”
He loved laying under my futon… and then I got couches with next to no gap between the couch and the floor. Now he lays under my bed
Carl sent me this on my phone the other day to show me what Mr Bunny does all day while I am at work
Mr Bunny is such a slacker
These are some wonderful excellent pictures of our bunnies doing their flops. The one laying in front of the fireplace would make a lovely Christmas card. They all look so spoiled and happy and contented.
My Hunny Bunny does snore, or “honk” when she is sleeping
Lol Monkey Bun, he doesnt sleep all day. Sometimes he gets up for a raisin!
Sounds like Monkey lol. She’ll do anything for a raisin, even wake up from a nice comfy nap!
Haha Chubs prefers craisins but him too!
jnc317, Dexter’s flops are the best!!! He could care less what’s going on around him. He lets you go right up to him, if he lifts his head or opens his eyes at all, all you need to do is pet his face and he will lay his head back down and go back to sleep. He also lets you rub his belly! Every once in a while I will catch Delilah in one and she will move if you come near, but not Davey too much-his favorite is his “loaf & wobble” position.
Dexter in his favorite tube: (he loves for you to come over and reach your arm all the way in the tube and rub his whole body, nose to tail.) Sometimes when he lays in here his head will hang off the edge and his face will end up touching the ground.
This is his allowed belly rub position:
look at the length of that tail! *tugtug* hehehe
lol, I love it when they splay their legs out behind them like that. Momo does it all the time. If she flops, I can even gently take each leg and pull it out behind her, and she streeeeeeeetches.
Remy lies on his side and stretches his legs out, like it feels soooooooo gooooooooood.
Lol! yep, Dexter deffinitely wins in my book! I want to steal him!
When his tail is out like that, he lets me play with it and twist it around my finger, like when you twirl pieces of hair?!(if that makes sense). Oh and once he’s asleep he’s OUT!

Get in line… The theft of Dexter has long been planned.
Hehe, well I want in. We’ll just have to rotate him!

Hehe, well I want in. We’ll just have to rotate him!
hmm… I never considered sharing him if I got my hands on him — LOL. But since it has been impossible to convince mrmac to part with him I’m thinking we could pool our resources to try again. –So how much money do you have? I’m asking because now that I publicly declared to be involved in a theft-conspiracy about Dexter, if he disappeared, I would be the prime suspect. So plan B is to offer mrmac $$$ — lots of it.
(I hear Dexter has the bad litter habits, though, and eats like a herd of starved bunnies–you still in??)
Our bunnies love to lay with their front feet out front and back feet kicked out behind them. My husband calls that their “Superman position.” lol Since they look like they are flying lol
Haha, I’m still in Petzy!!
And, hey, I caught Comet in a flop tonight!
jnc, neither one of us needs Dexter. We have a lot of cuteness already in our homes! Plus, Dexter has it good where he is… –I love Chubbs by the way, I love browns and beiges.!!!
cute flop from comet, too.
My “Bunna Floppies”
And this one just for the “Awww” factor. LPT originally posted it and it’s so darn cute!
Awww wittle bunneh fell asleep studying! *snuggle snuggle*
aww, I enjoyed everybunnies pics! My bunnies only flop on their bellies….with their feet and tails out Guess that will have to do! Maybe I can catch them in a semi-flop soon! Thanks for the pictures….they are great and cute bunnies!
I have four rabbits of my own and zero cute flop photos!!! They flop behind my back.
But my friend’s Roger (I think he has some excess fat on him ) when he was here for bonding seemed to flop more than not.
LEts see if I can get the pic of the red square er uh Cottons flop
I tried to get pics of Ruby the other day but when I go in and sit she runs all over and I get Ruby blurs instead of good focused pics. I have this on my wallpaper. I love this flop.
LOL bunnytowne, is Cotton between the wall and chair? That is too funny!!
Got this flop this morning when I peeked on the new bun. I think today I will help her out with the dirty feeties. It’s too gross.
lol yes Cotton was between the wall and the top of the couch. Everynite he goes up there after digging on my shirt and expects me to pet him.
So we have a petting marathon many nites with him up there. He likes to flop onto his side his feet against the wall. This one pic is the only one of him lying on his back.
I love all these floppies so cute. OH Lantini yes I would help beautiful with her feet too. I am sure she will be ok with it. She is young yet and seems to be ok with you and with getting attention. She looks so cute there.
She is lucky that the urine has not been on her coat for months n months like Laith. When he came back home it had stained his coat and he was all yellow. Some mean male dominate bunny kept spraying him. I finally cut some of it off him cuz it wouldn’t wash out and he finally shed the rest out.
Some of these floppy lops look like fat happy lops to me. Lops look that way I know it is their build. But sooo cute.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My bf and I call that position “the Bear Rug”. When my REW does it, it’s the “Polar Bear Rug”. Funny, how us crazy bunny people make up our own names for everything, lol
I finally caught Bailey in floppy!
OMG ……sigh….sigh…sigh love all the floppies!!!!!!
awww these pics are brill!! i love my bunnies flopping!!!
awww, bunna floppies are adorable! I love all the pics!
Such cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee floppies!!!!!!!!!
here’s Marble
Awwww!!! I <3 bunna floppies!!!
I know I’m a bit late posting mine but I finally got some of Ruby.
She got out into the basement and this is when we found her. . .
Ok, so I do realize this is not a floppie. . . but it’s cute ain’t it?
Oh my gosh, face first nap! lol *snuggles*
G&S – Marble looks sooo much like my Frankie when he was a little bunlet.
Frankie hasn’t flopped in a long time, but I’ll dig up a picture or two!
Super relaxation
White tummy!!!
Baby Frankie flop!
Monkey flopped in her bed
Another view of her in the same bed, this time with no pen in the way
Nekkid tummeh! hehehe
Aww wittle belly!
Ooo, I kept meaning to post on this thread now that I got good pictures. Typically Otto only flops out in full DBF mode when he’s in his maze, so I can’t get pictures. The other week I took the maze away for a bit and he slept in his cage. He still will only flop under the ledge in the cage, not out in the open in the pen area, but I was at least able to get some cute pics
Aw, what a cutie!
Oh how I love bunny flops!!!
This is Mr. Whiskers after a long day
[url=http://www.imagehosting.com/][/url]
OMG!! Mr. Whiskers looks like somebody left a plush toy on the floor by mistake!!
This thread is sooo cute! I still have a broken camera, so no floppies from my munchkins yet.
moogle flop
Aw, what a wonderful face!
Oh velvet lion your ruby is gorgeous. I love where you found her.
Sammyp where did you get that gorgeous little bunny . It is so adorable love his face and color.
guess what I got more pics of Cotton flopped out on top the couch with his feet in the air. But I have to wait til computer comes back and I get it working right to post them
Just know they are coming in Dec.
I love this thread. mostly because it looks like we’ve all posted a bunch of pictures of DEAD BUNNIES! ;o))))) adorable lil furballs.
Bunny has to groom the carpet after a flop. Like he’s thanking the floor for catching him.
Vin’s favorite spot… on top of his cage.
Vin when he was just a baby, flopped between the wall and the outside of his enclosure.
Addie and Benjie have to share their favorite spot under a rocker.
Momo flops more emphatically than Remy. After Remy flops, he sort of straightens himself… but when she flops, she goes aaaaaaaaaaall the way!
Ahhhhhhhhhh, life is good when you’re a house bunny! Now, where did i put that mojito?
Finally got a nice one of Indy!
