Domestic rabbits communicate in subtle yet rich ways. Their body language is made up of small gestures that, if observed carefully, tell us a lot about their well-being, the emotions they experience, and how safe they feel in their environment. Understanding them is essential to build a peaceful and respectful coexistence, where the bunny can truly express its true nature.

 

Signs of happiness

Binky (jump for joy)

A leap and twist in the air is a spontaneous display of pure joy. It indicates a calm, stimulated and perfectly at ease rabbit.

 

Zoomies (crazy races)

The bunny runs in circles or makes sudden bursts: it needs physical release and is full of positive energy. This healthy behavior signals vitality and a good mood.

 

Tooth Purring (rabbit purring)

Light vibrations of the teeth, similar to a buzzing sound: they signal a state of extreme well-being and relaxation, often during cuddles.

 

Relaxing Postures

Flop (total relaxation)

The bunny drops onto its side with total abandon. It's a gesture of profound trust, typical of an environment perceived as safe.

 

Loaf (loaf position)

Crouched with its paws tucked under its body, the domestic rabbit is in a state of alert repose. A comfortable but attentive posture.

 

Stretching

After resting, the bunny stretches to reactivate its muscles. Adequate space is essential to allow this natural movement.

 

States of alert and communication

Alert Position

It stands on its hind legs, ears pricked and its gaze attentive: the bunny is exploring the environment and checking the safety of the territory.

 

Thump (alarm clock)

A sharp thump of the hind leg warns of potential danger. It's an instinctive reaction that signals discomfort or fear. If repeated, it's important to identify and eliminate the source of stress.

 

Natural instincts to be safeguarded

Grooming

It licks and cleans himself regularly for hygiene and well-being. It's part of its routine, but excessive licking can be a sign of stress.

 

Foraging

Searches for food by rummaging through objects or hay. This is an important mental activity that stimulates curiosity and satisfies a natural need.

 

Chin Marking

It rubs his chin to mark objects or people. This affectionate gesture defines its territory and reinforces its sense of belonging.
