Has he been weaned successfully? While 5 weeks is younger for when we’d want him separated from his mother, if he is showing adequate ability to eat pellets and hay on his own, separation would be fine. Re-introducing milk or other things to a weaned kit’s diet can cause gastric distress.

It sounds like there is a feeling of general comfort and energy around you. In some contexts, binkying is actually an evasive maneuver (i.e. flinging into the air can potentially dodge an attack). If the baby’s ears are not flat back, it suggests that this is not aggressive and is likely more playful or just a want for some interaction. You can offer some toys to redirect that energy and “play”, if appropriate.

This isn’t unusual behavior for a young bunny. And yes, I have always interpreted it as some sort of game. Boop, “Hi”, runs away, “Ok, bye”.

My girl, Ginki has been doing this for a while now. First I misinterpreted this behavior as a call for attention. I didn’t understand why she runs away though. And one day it dawned on me: she wants to play tag. I have read on every forum that bunnies don’t like to be chased, but I guess she is special. She loves running around the room with me following (I look like a complete idiot), she does binkies, zoomies, hides and than storms out like crazy. And when we are done she comes to me for a treat 🙂 Maybe your bunny also wants to run around together. They are very social after all. Just be cautious, don’t startle him.
