how do your bunnies flop? Nikka does the most hilarious flops but it’s impossible to catch on camera, and everytime I try to take a picture of her post-flop she moves
nikka flops over, almost on her back, puts her ears back, and starts licking her hand hahahaha. I don’t know why, but every single time she flops she starts licking her hand with her eyes all closed and smiley. then she chills out with her eyes completely closed until I pick up my phone, and she realizes I’m trying to document it -________-

Michelle&Lolli, I thought the same thing when Oreo first flopped! It was only like her second day home when she did it and I completely freaked haha. When she flops she always ends up on her back with her legs sticking out, mouth hanging open and her tongue stuck out a bit. So the first time she did that I thought she had literally dropped dead
She looks so goofy and happy laying there with her mouth just hanging open, I wish I could get it on camera!

Yep! I thought Eddie had dropped dead too. And since I got him at Petco and he most likely came from a bunny mill, I thought he had mental problems when he started doing binkies. LOL LOL LOL
I am seriously laughing out loud right now hahahaha. I had done a ton of research before I got the buns, so I was eagerly waiting for a binky and a flop. when I saw the first binky I was like

Yeah, I seriously thought I had a stupid bunny on my hands when he started doing binkies. LOL Just cause you never know how much inbreeding is done, you know? He never was the brightest crayon in the box. He was an impulse buy so I didn’t really know anything. I paid $100 for him to be neutered and litterbox trained. First, he pooped all over his cage, so I thought I got ripped off. Then I thought he was stupid and got ripped off. Then he flopped and I thought he dropped dead so I was going to have to take a dead rabbit back and get my money back. Yep, MAJOR learning curve the first week I brought him home. But he was the bestest!!!!

Miles flops and then rolls and rolls. I finally caught a video of it… So hard to describe the cuteness. I especially love when he flops on something inclined, like the dog’s bed, and then rolls and ends up rolling right off of it
OMG, cuteness overload!! I’ve never seen a bun roll like that. He’s almost rolling like a horse! I like how he placed the ball out of the way first, too.

He is so CUTE! OMG. Oreo does something similar to this but Miles is just so adorable! Maybe it’s those ears

Oh super cute!!!!
We had our first bunny flop! I missed it, but I heard my 3 year old start laughing hysterically, and when I asked what, she said “Samson flopped!!! He just fell over! Hahaha!” And I look over and he’s lying on his side with his feet out behind him
It’s the first time I’ve seen him not in the egg position -

LOL Banner does this too – the licking thing. It’s so cute
Is Nikka a rex? I notice that Banner licks -everything- and it seems to be a rex thing!Bunny flopping is the most adorable thing ever!

Lucy flops.
She throws herself down onto her back, almost upside down, flails her legs around a little bit, and then usually sits returns to a more upright but still sprawled position.
Sometimes though, when she is super tired, because I have been home all day and have been keeping her from her regular schedule of sleeping 18-20 hours
she will pass out totally sideways and sleep really deeply. She practically snores.

but of course as soon as I tried to take a picture and paid attention to him, off he went. It was like he was saying “NO MORE BINKY BUNNY, more me 
” haha,
