  Just a few minutes ago she was eating some pellets from her bowl. I walked past her and pet her gently on the head and then I turn around because I hear a clacking noise from the bowl and she’s literally grabbing hold of the bowl with her teeth then proceeds to turn it over and everything falls out. Why?? She’s never done this and now I hope it doesn’t become a habit

  Whisky used to pick up her metal bowl and throw it with pellets in it. The one time I tried to film her doing it, of course, she didn’t do it. But yeah, seems like common behavior. Even Kali does it a little bit and she’s only 10 weeks old.

  Some bunnies really like playing with stacking cups for babies, sounds like your girl might.
  
  You can put her pellets in them and make her find them, and then she can throw the cups around without worrying about the bowl breaking or anything. I sometimes stack them up with pellets in each cup, then the buns knock them over and have to run around and find the pellets. It’s like a bunny piñata!

  She probably just finds it fun LOL. They like to push and turn things over.
  
  Maybe you could try to get some toys that she can flip over and toss. There is also a kind of feed bowl that you can “screw” to cage bars so it’s secured. Something like this:
