  I noticed my rabbit shakes her whole body and head ( like when a dog shakes to fry its fur ) right after she Pees finish.
  
  She seems to only do this if she pees outside her potty. If she pees inside her potty , she does not do this.
  
  Does anyone know what it means ?

  Is the movement similar to a binky? I’m wondering if it’s an expression of energy for doing a pee out of the litterbox, either as a victory for marking territory maybe? Does this movement every happen during the urination? Unfixed rabbits especially will pee while binkying in order to better spray their scent around the room.

  Hi thanks for the reply , I am not very sure if it’s like a binky. She is 8 years old and seldom does a binky anymore.
  
  It has never happened during urinating. She has been neutered though.
  
  I managed to upload a video of her doing it: https://youtu.be/WV2xo2mRAcc (link reviewed by LBJ)

  That definitely looks like a release of energy, sort of like a half binky.
