The Double Flop
While we were watching TV, Liz looked over and realized Phineas had completely flopped on his side. He appeared to be dreaming a little, as he was making small chewing motions with his mouth.
A closeup.
For those who are new to bunny rabbits, the whole “flopping” thing is a special delight. Rarely do rabbits get comfortable enough to just rest on their sides, and it’s typically seen as a sign of how relaxed and at ease they are.
Whenever we see this behavior, Liz and I are secretly proud to have given our bunnies an environment to get so relaxed.
Usually, Phineas will do this while sleeping under some object/cover. So to see this so out in the open is even better than usual.
A few moments later, another surprise: Daisy flopped!
And another closeup of the cuteness. I’m seeing double here, four flopped bunnies!

so adorable! :-) And awesome to see that also Daisy is really at home now.
