Hello,
I’m sure most of you have many questions you want to ask your bun that simply may never be answered. This is the place where we can share our theories or answers for our questions! I’ll start off by asking a list of questions/answers:Do bunnies know whether a binky/zoomie is coming on, like we have sneezes?I’m simply asking because of the look of confusion mixed with fear on muffins face after a zoomie
Why buns can handle throwing themselves on the floor but can’t handle someone touching their back paws
Why do they have to pull so violently on food being hand fed to them??
As apparently all mammals dream, do buns have dreams of us saying random words as they don’t understand us?
Leave your questions

Why does Moose think the BEST time to ask for grooms is while Bertha is getting a cecatrope directly from her bum…?
What is Bertha they dreaming about when her mouth goes all twitchy and she lists over to one side?
I imagine she is eating the most delicious pile of veggies….

I love this!
I know bunnies like to have things their own way, but why when you clean their area and something is not placed exactly where they want it do they have to so loudly and dramatically put it back where they want it? There’s such a thing called discretion. It’s like cooking for someone and them putting salt on it before they’ve even tried it

What a fun topic!
I often wonder the purpose behind chinning. *sniff sniff* *chins* “mine now” *hops away* ….
I actually tried chinning my tablet last evening while I was in the X-pen with Panda and Fernando. The only thing that happened was that they favored me with mildly incredulous looks, as in, “What does this preposterous human think he’s doing?!”
I read somewhere about trying to communicate with your bun using their body language…. I tried a head binky once. Not sure if bun understood but my husband thought I might need to be sent somewhere for mental help

At my age (53) and with bum knees – I had to buy a stool for my X-pen sessions with my pair – I wouldn’t care to try a full binky, I tell you that!

Haha – love this topic
great questions, all!
I second sarahthegemini, “Theo why must you fling your poops everywhere when you jump out of the litter box as soon as you see me?”
Also, “Why do you always throw your bowl and all its contents when I put your pellets in it?? Why is it so annoying to eat pellets in a bowl??” -

What do bunnies see when they look at each other? Because all I see is a bundle of cute that needs love and snuggles but apparently when they look at each other they see something much different. If they saw what I do then bonding would be much easier!Hi MissGabbster! *waving*
I haven’t seen you posting here is so long! I hope life is good.

I often wonder the purpose, rather the LOGIC, behind chinning. *sniff sniff* *chins* “mine now” *hops away* ….
LOL This topic is, indeed, fabulous!
First, to just say that buns chin to leave their scent (they have scent glands under their chins). So they’re tagging stuff like a kid with a can of spray paint. Albeit a cute, fuzzy kid, without pants falling down etc.As for questions… the ones asked so far are amazing, and I would dearly love to know the answers, but what I particularly burn to find out is why, if Chewie doesn’t like to be picked up due to his fear of heights, he’s totally ok with navigating the ridge of a tall sofa to scramble onto my shoulder and lean forward enough to shove his booplesnoot in my mouth in the hopes of a half-chewed treat.

Hiya Jersey! Life has been hectic, there’s been many changes since I was last here. I’ll do an update in the September chat
There’s so many new faces on here. It’s all about control and their fuzzy reputation, Q8. What would other bunnies think if they saw Chewie being willingly manhandled??? The shock! The scandal!

If buns could talk I’d definitely ask Buttercup why she boops me and then immediately turns her back to me lol. Another question aimed at Buttercup is “why must you jump out of the litter tray so violently and thus fling poop all over the place?”
