  i saw in a video a bunny got smacked in the head and he just ‘dropped dead’
  
  with eyes still wide open though, but after a few minute he was up and running again.
  
  what kind of behavior is this? isn’t faking dead usually with eyes closed?

  Eyes are not shut when “dead”, even with humans.
  
  It’s not appropriate to “smack” a rabbit in the head so I would not try and interpret what’s going on in such a video in the first place.
