Bunnie House

Rabbits are generally quiet animals, but they are not completely silent. They make plenty of  noises—from growling to screaming, to communicate how they feel.  

Growling - If your rabbit growls or grunts at you, she's not happy about something. Maybe she's angry that you're poking your hand into her cage, and she doesn't want you in her territory. Growling can be a sign of anger, fear, uncertainty and stress. The better you get to know your bunny, the more you'll discover what her different growls mean.

Crying - Your bunny may cry.  Sometimes a bunny will let out a little cry or whimper and thump their back feet.   This is interpreted much as you would understand the same noise in puppies or people.  

Screaming - You never want to hear your bunny scream. A bunny scream is usually shrill. It's a heart-breaking sound, and it generally signifies your bunny is either hurt or dying. You'll want to get her help immediately.

Licking - If your bunny licks your face or your hands, be happy. She's telling you “I love you!”

Flopping - Your bunny is on top of the world. She is so happy, she can think of no better way to show her happiness than flopping over, eyes closed, taking some time to relax.  

Binkying -  Binkies are crazy happy dances. Your bunny will hop in the air, twirl her head and spin around then maybe start running at top speed. She's so happy she's a bunny and living with you.

Thumping - Your bunny will thump her back legs for a number of reasons including fear, anger and warning you to danger lurking.

Chinning - Your bunny is rubbing her chin all over the furniture, the book your reading and you. This is just her way of marking her territory. She's saying, “hey, this is mine.”

Turfing - Your bunny is urinating all over her shavings and piling them all into a heap.  She is spreading her scent around trying to attract a nearby buck.
