        Yes, exactly what the title says..  I need a little laughter ..  and pictures are welcome if you have any!

        Chacha likes to nap.. and she naps by loafing up (sticking all her limbs into her body!), pressing her ears back and naps with her eyes completely open!

         

        Sometimes she will nap by flopping and she will begin to fall over (with her eyes open.. LOL) and catch herself

        She tends to sleep sleep in the afternoon all loafed up. I have not witnessed a superman pose or eyes closed!! I’m jealous

          Well…

          Moose falls over, stretches his back feet straight out a,d sleeps with his head flat on the floor. lol.

          Monkey usually either loafs in a corner, flops in her little bed, or sometimes flops in her mini litterbox that she usually only uses to nap in. SHe had a full size litter box for her potty

          Smudge will curl up in a ball in her grass house, or flop by her water dish… sometimes with an ear in the water *giggle*

            “ears in the water” LOL
            It’s like when someone naps in the tube in the middle of a pool on a sunny day, trailing the water to keep cool.

              Hannah looks like a mother hen sitting on her eggs- she tucks her front legs in, sticks out her little bit of dewlap, and loafs down.

              Otto does a range of positions from loaf to flop, but his favorite it on his stomach with his feet kicked out behind him and to the side. When he’s in a really deep sleep he loafs, closes his eyes, and twitches his eyes and mouth. It’s so cute.

                Lolli sleeps loafed up too. She will also sleep in a half superman pose – back legs straight out, front legs out but not completely stretched out and head on the floor. it’s so cute. And nope – can’t get a picture. lol She always moves.

                  Bing sleeps everywhere. Lol

                  He loafs but most of the time I see him flop. He has these puzzle floor mats in his pen to protect my carpet, but he has strips of old jeans on top of that around the pen that he likes to sleep on. One particluar strip next to his water is most frequently flopped on. He rolls too, like a cat would on concrete or a dog in the grass. Its the cutest thing ever! Then he likes whatever is next to him and falls asleep doing it. His head sometimes ends up on the floor!

                     Babs sleeps in a half superman like Lolli. I’ve just noticed do most rabbits sleep next to their water? Alot of you have said that here and I know Babs does too

                      My buns don’t necessarily sleep next to their water, but Otto has to sleep touching *something* at all times. He never stretches out in the middle of the living room – he’s always laying on a phone book, or laying against a box, or touching a tunnel, or whatever. We joke that he likes to have his stuff near him at all times 🙂

                          loafs, during their playtime the trio will loaf out together and have a plop fight to see who gets to be snuggled in the middle.

                            My bunny snores. Lol! It’s like this faint little whistle noise, she doesn’t make it all the time. She usually always sleeps in a little puff ball or flopped over into a C position. I know when she sleeps because her pupils get very small.

                              I just remembered this about Eddie. I would catch him every once in a while sleeping facing his cage, in the loaf position with his nose almost pressed up against it. Like he couldn’t get closer or he’d be smooshing his face up against it. ROFL No idea why but that was my little weirdo for ya.

                                Can you spot the bunny?

                                 

                                Arduina like to sleep up high.  She’s on the chair, don’t ask me how she gets there.  She used to sleep there until we brought Leo home.  Now I don’t want her excluding him, so I have the chair out in the open.

                                    I caught Merry in REM sleep yesterday. She was on the second floor of her Maze Haven, all superman-ed out. She was moving her mouth around so that it looked like she was trying to talk She was also snoring this teeny little wheeze. And her eyes were (mostly) closed! She’s slept with her eyes open for so long and only recently begun closing them.

                                    Last night I spoiled the girl and let her sleep on the top of my cushy white chair. For all the talk of “rabbits don’t like heights” – this girl is always trying to jump onto the highest point possible!

                                      Sandy has a pretty much 3 different ways to sleep, flopped or “superman” (pictured below) and there’s also when she stretches her back legs out, I call it “the frog” hehe!  Haven’t gotten a picture of that yet.

                                      Archie usually flops, he’ll meatloaf sometimes too.

                                      And Gracie meatloafs (and snores)   She’s never really flopped over, she’s to much of a diva to do that I guess.

                                        Jenny stretches out fully and kicks her back legs out to the side, but front end up, and sleeps, thats how she ALWAYS sleeps, doesnt matter if its bedtime or just a nap, or just a rest.

                                        Peepers naps all loafed up, but for a full sleep she flops out completly on her side, Peepers snores too lol, took me the logest time to figer out where that noice was comming from, till I realized it was Peepers!

                                          For those who have snorers and squeakers, please try get some audio of that. : )

                                          @Ski, I know I’ve said it before but Sandy looks so much like Rumball.

                                          He does “the wibble” as mrmac calls it. When they’re dozing and kinda melt down (wibble down) and the lips flutter. Cutest thing. I’ve seen Jersey in a deep sleep where she appeared to be dreaming. She twitched a bit and her mouth moved alot.

                                            Sammy usually either sleeps flopped on his side in what I call the chicken-wing position (back legs stretched out at a 90 degree angle) or bunny loafed by his water dish (weird that they all do this lol).

                                              Davey loafs and does the wobble, he gets so into his dreams! Eyes, mouth, lips twitch like crazy! Sometimes he will even lose his balance and tip over, only to catch himself and re-loaf. He really doesn’t flop too much, but if he does it it just usually laying out with his head on the floor. Delilah loafs and sometimes flops, she gets scared easily so she will usually just flip herself right side up after flopping. Dexter and Dennis just flop. Doesn’t matter where, just full flops almost on their backs. Dex loafs more, Dennis is almost always laying with his feet stretched out.

                                              Dennis…

                                              Dexter…

                                                I watched  the video of Davey again last night. You did call it his sleep wobble, I don’t know why I keep thinking of it as “wibble”. lol
                                                Maybe it’s from Jelly on a plate rhyme.

                                                He even does a little dig in his sleep.
