        When I had my bunny out today, I kept tapping my fingers on the floor then stopping. When she came over to investigate I tapped them quickly again and she started hopping and jumping around. Ran a bit, jumped in the air, ran behind the bin, out again and then came back over to me sniffing.

        Is this binkying and happiness or did I alarm her in some way? Figured it best to check since I don’t want to misunderstand and play the game again if the sudden movements of my hands tapping on the floor are alarming her. Likewise, I don’t want to stop doing it if it’s a game that she enjoyed and been played with like that made her happy.

            Sounds like a very happy binky bun! If you’d scared her, she’d probably have run to a safe place, possibly thumping first.

              That sounds like a very fun game and a very happy bun! I’ve found that my rabbit’s binkies aren’t just twisted hops in the air. Sometimes, he hops higher than normal or shakes his head excitedly.
