  So I was just sitting with my rabbit on my phone when I look over to my rabbit kinda of jumping up and down. Very scary in fact. It went a way within a minute so I assume they are hiccups?

  Hiccups usually don’t involve jumping, at least for Wick. It’s like a small body pulse which stops after a few minutes.
  
  Random up and down jumping could be binkying, which is what rabbits do when they’re excited and want to expend the excess energy.
  
  Was there anything that could have startled your rabbit, like a bug on the floor?

  By jumping I meant pulses like you said.

  They were probably hiccups then! I’d just keep an eye out that it’s not have breathing due to overheating or anything.
