I think so! Some are very adventurous, some aren’t.

My dwarf rabbit is very easily stopped in his tracks by a 14in grid wall, even though he can 100% jump over it. He also doesn’t flop anymore, nor zoomie or binky (unless he’s frustrated, haha; not when he’s happy). He, similar to your bun, needs a lot of coaxing to do things and often gets himself “stuck” on chairs or something, even though he is definitely able to get up and down safely.

On the other hand, my American Sable is very energetic. She zoomies constantly, flops at least 10 times a day, and loves to bolt and hop up and down her cage. She jumps on things that aren’t actually stable…. eep.

… I think generally, rabbits don’t really recreationally hop. They hop out of necessity, so I think what you’re observing is normal!

Sounds normal to me! I think most bunnies won’t jump on or over something they aren’t 100% sure about, they have to be able to see where they are going clearly.

Some buns just love the cuddle life. Love that picture! Those little feet! <3

Young rabbits (8 weeks to 6mo’s, I’d say) are generally more energetic… as young children do, haha. During this time period, Wick (my ND) did flop occasionally, but he was never really one to zoomie in the first place.

He is now approaching 3.5 years old now and is pretty much the most lazy rabbit I’ve ever experienced. For one, he doesn’t chew on anything, on top of not zoomying or binkying. His days are essentially transitioning between sleeping, eating, cuddling to himself, or cuddling with me, haha. He has probably been this way since he was 2yo….

Fable, my American Sable (not rhyming on purpose; happened to turn out that way, haha), is about 1 year old, but even at this age, she is sooo much more energetic than Wick ever was… ever. So I do think personality plays a role, above and beyond age.

“Why hop when you can flop?” That’s a perfect description of some buns, for example my bridge bunny Bam. He was very laid back. He could hop amazingly though, if he was motivated. His motivation was food. He once jumped from the floor right up in the air and landed in the bowl of fruit salad that I was holding in my hand. I had to wipe whipped cream from the walls. And from his huge feet. 🤣

Yep, I’ve never had to use anything higher than one of those tension baby gates. I can easily step over it. Some bunnies just aren’t that motivated. And if they aren’t motivated, they aren’t going to bother.
