  Hi! I have a question for all of you bunny lovers. Well I started to notice in the past months my bunny keeps shaking his head. When he runs away he’ll shake it, when he’s standing, and sitting he’ll shake his head. He doesn’t itch his ears or anything. I had to treat him for fleas about a month ago because of my boyfriend’s dog. I’m not too worried because he eats well, sleeps well, and drinks well. He also exercises daily in his area whenever he wants. I’m just curious as why he’s doing that.

  Welcome to BB C&S! A good question. It’s always wise to get some opinions when your pet rabbit is acting different than usual. They’re such routine pets, so something off kilter can be a sign of illness and/or immediate intervention required.
  
  Under the assumption that he doesn’t have an ear infection or another medical condition that could be causing this, here are some things that I know cause Wick to shake his head:
  
  1) Fur in ear: When Wick’s shedding/molting, or just grooming himself, sometimes fur flies up and lands near/in his ear, so the next half-hour he twists his head to try and get it out.
  
  2) Half-Binky: When I come home from work, Wick runs to me and does a half-binky, which does not involve a full jump-binky, but the body twist just occurs at the head.
  
  3) Frustration/Miffed: When Wick goes into the bathroom (he’s not allowed in there), I’ll say his name in the -no no- tone or walk over to him, and he’ll head shake on his way out.
  
  — Any of these seem plausible?
