It could very well be that she’s misinterpreting the whole thing 😆

But it also seems to be a thing for one rabbit to act especially relaxed around the other one during bonding as an attempt to be seen as top bun. As in “This is my turf, I’m not worried about you whatsoever, look how much I don’t care!” *flop*

It might be her way of showing him she’s not fazed by his chasing?

That’s so interesting! I agree with Hazel, it could either be a “you don’t scare me”, and/or a “I’m not a threat so chill out, man” ?

I am not sure about the bonding part of the equation, but Dorian is a flopper and he flops when he’s ran about or any type of physical exertion (I mean he also flops if he liked his dinner or I am sitting in the same room, or its sunny, so who knows how accurately I am reading this!). But it seems almost like a reaction to being tired. He generally only does it when happy running, but he did get super spooked once, when I he finally calmed down he flopped almost out of relief. If she’s a flopper, maybe she’s just tired out after the chase or flopping out of relief? Or she could think it all great fun 😀

I do get the feeling that somethings bunnies see chasing as sort of a game. Almost like they are teasing the other bunny. Like human siblings where one keeps pestering the other one to the point that the one being pestered goes into a rage and a chase ensues.

I agree, maybe the flop is like a “haha, you chased me and now I don’t care”.

Sounds similar to what my little dude does. He’ll kinda run around my feet and dart around then go to his spot and flop down, probably because he’s so tired.
