anyone elses bunny do this?

[rainyy]

when my bunny eats vegetables, his fur becomes really floofy and when hes done eating, it becomes normal again. it doesn’t happen when hes eating pellets or hay. its really cute and i wonder why it happens?

I’m not sure I understand exactly what you mean, but a rabbit’s fur is very indicative of how a rabbit feels. Some buns get pretty excited over food they really like. Excitement can make the hair stand up on many species, and not just negative excitement. We often think that it means aggression or defensiveness, but it can be about any overwhelming feeling that puts the system on alert.

So maybe your bun just really loves vegetables.

wow thats interesting, he always gets really excited when we give him vegetables like he’s jumping around crazily when he sees us going into the refrigerator lol

He doesn’t get poofy, but Loki goes in head first, and all I can see of him is everything from his ears back.  His whole face is in his salad.5 minutes later, there’s a perfect circle of greens spread around the plate.

And the spoiled monster won’t eat those scattered greens unless I pick them all up and put them back on the plate.

@Rainyy: That’s so sweet ^_^ One happy bunny!

We haven’t noticed it yet in Owen and Molly, but Breintje’s butt always twerked when he ate banana… and his own cecals… 🙄 Ah well, nothing better than homemade, eh?

@Bladesmith: ooh, a fussy one! Love it ^_^
