I had never heard of or seen s bunny flop on its side before. I had my bun several weeks when he was on his side in his cage with his feet halfway in air. He looked dead!! I ran over to see if he was breathing and of course he hopped right up in full alert. Then i saw him flop several times. I wrote my breeder in a panic. She said oh he’s just super relaxed!

I don’t want to tell you to dismiss any possibility of a physical problem. Always be on lookout for that when behavior changes. But just wanted to share my experience in case it’s helpful

First time I saw Buttercup flopped in her litter box I thought she was dead! They are awfully dramatic but it’s so funny to watch!
