My bunny suddenly became very active

[Fifi]

From two day ago she suddenly became very active. She’s been showing some behaviors that she had never done before: circling around me, jumping up and down, following me everywhere, showing up right at my call (she used to ignore me when I call her), asking for attention (last night when I was sitting in the chair staring at my phone, she just ran around me in a big hurry and I could hear some very low sound from her throat, she stopped running and making that sound when I pet her.

She used to be much colder than this.

I guess maybe she’s in heat but I never saw her mounting on things. As she’s not become aggressive.

Just more active and more needy.

Actually I like it hhh.

How old is your rabbit? Rabbits dont have heat cycles like dogs do, they are what is known as induced ovulation. That means some form of outward stimuli can trigger ovulation. It’s very often unclear what sets this off if there are no other rabbits in the vicinity.

It does sound like sexually motivated behaviour, circling and following and making sounds (often a deep buzzing-type sound) are typical of rabbit courtship. The bun can become quite obsessed with the object of its desire, which in your case seems to be you.
