Does your bunny ever sleep like the dead? I mean, do they flop so completely that they look like they’re miming roadkill?
I just glanced over at Sammy and she is flat as a flounder. If I thought she wouldn’t move I would get a pix for you guys. (Just tried. She moved.)
In fact, that’s the point of this thread. Post pix of your bunnies in their most dramatic flops, they’re passed-out-like-a-drunken-sailor sleeps, or their “how’d a bunny that big get into a space that small” scenes. You know what I mean.
Those poses where, when you’re dialing the vet for the emergency, the bunny leaps up, binkies, and runs away shouting “Gotcha!”
(Here’s a pix of her just because she looks so cute.) -
Bindi scares me all the time with his super flop outs. It’s so adorable but too peaceful looking. I always have to go make sure his nose is going or his little belly is moving. I wish there was no bars in the way of his “teddy bear” cuteness.
Olivia flops sometimes but this is what I call “the Crescent Bunny”.
Stormy never flops for sleeping. He always just sleeps in the “loaf” position. I never once caught him in a deep sleep. He’s always alert. Sometimes after run time he will flop all out for a rest though.

I love the crescent bunny! I call that position the banana bun, haha.
I don’t think we ever did see Tammo flop, but the rest of the bunnies do it all the time. Peppy, however, is the ultimate “scary sleeper”…I figure she would make a terrible wild bunny since she passes out so soundly when she sleeps. I’ve probably posted these two pics a billion times, but here are two for those who have not seen them before. Every once in a while I catch sight of something ridiculous, but she always moves before I can whip out the camera. Noooooo!
Classic dead-looking Peppy flop:
She wasn’t even flopped out in this one…she was sleeping upright and fell over! Hehe, you can see her shaved paw from when she was spayed.
-
Hahaha I’m still laughing about Peppy falling over. That’s hilariously cute
I’ve yet to catch a good dead bunny flop on camera cause Oreo always moves the second I reach for my phone to snap a picture. But literally as I was reading this thread she was sitting next to me and flopped so hard that it made a giant THUD against the floor. She hopped right back up though with her ears all perked up, I think she scared herself with that noise. I swear, my 3lb bun flops like a 300lb man

That sounds like Fiver. He has hit the floor hard enough to make a noise plenty of times. Anyone ever seen what happens when you scare a goat? That’s almost how he does it. The legs stick out as he goes over. Used to scare the heck out of me. But I haven’t seen him do this in a long time and I’ve never gotten a pic of it.
I wish I had video of Mimzy as he used to ‘twist’ himself into a flop. But that was before I had a camera and now that I do have one he doesn’t do it anymore.
I think Pip is too stuck up to flop. Mustn’t do anything to make her look less regal, I don’t dote on her enough as it is and if she lifts that royal foot I might squirm out from under it! >_<
