         My rabbit flicks his front feet randomly for several seconds while he sits on his hind feet. It looks like he is trying to fight someone by punching them with his itty bitty paws  His paws flick rapidly.

         

        Should I be worried about this?

          Is it right before he grooms his face? If so, that’s really common. I don’t know why they do it but they sort of shake the paws then groom.
          Flicking the hind feet at you is more the one to worry about. They do that when annoyed at you! hehe.
          What is your bunnies name? I don’t believe you mentioned it in your other posts. He has such a soft, pretty colouring.

            I believe they flick the front paws prior to grooming to shake off any dirt so not to wipe their eyes and faces with sandy paws from the ground.

              He grooms afterwards sometimes. Other times he does it, then sort of hops around :/

              And his name is Bun Bun. How unique right?
              I adopted him and that was his given name and I never changed it so it stuck.

              My younger brother renamed him “Rock” though because he says Bun Bun looks like a rock (marble)

                Sounds like just a dust flick, meaning he’s flicking something off of his paw. Bun Bun is still a cute name. Where did you adopt him from? The name sounds familiar. However, I am sure there are a million bun buns around. LOL.

                Jack has arthritis in his front paw and sometimes he’ll flick it and lick it when it hurts.
