Something has been bugging at me and I wondered what you all thought.
We all know that rabbits are F U L L of attitude
When Ophelia and Quincy were trying bonding, there were a lot of dramatic flops happening. I remember someone telling me that a flop doesn’t necessarily mean “I like you and I’m happy” and that they can actually flop as a way of “flaunting” that they are utterly unimpressed with the other bun. Ophelia like NEVER flops. She binkies all around, pancakes, and does zoomies, but I almost never see her flop…. I had a pop up puppy play pen that I used for “neutral” territory when I was trying bonding. I brought it with us on vacation, and I’ve had it set up at home now too. I’ve noticed her flop in that pen on several occasions now!
It’s interesting that this is her only flop location. Could it be that it still smells like Quincy and she’s flaunting her victory that he was rehomed and she got to stay
(obviously I’m sure that she isn’t making THAT deep of a connection lol). Thoughts?

Hahaha. I wouldn’t put it past a bunny to be that sassy. Strange that she doesn’t flop in general. Nimbus doesn’t really flop, but Luna and Atlas both flop tons.
BUUUT, she wasn’t really being that problematic during the rest of the bonding as far as I can remember? So maybe she was attitude flopping, but I don’t think she hated him. Probably just trying to show him she was better than him
