sorry if these are silly questions but....

I am new to this site. It very glad I found it as I have gained some great information and seem some lovely pics and messages. I have a 10 week old dwarf lop called Mr Bunns and he is beautiful..... But here is my first question... He jumps on the sofa for cuddles, once he has had them he tends to drop a few poops on the sofa and then has a sniff and eats them, is tHat ok? Also Reading many threads on here can some one pls explain what the bridge is and what binkey means. I am sorry if I seem to be asking silly questions but like I say I am new on here. Thanks a lot fx

:wave:hiya,
i believe binkying means doing a jump and flicking back feet out,this means happiness.
the bridge is were our bunnys go when they pass away.(section on here for it)
and eating poops is normal,they are slightly wet called something begining with c
sorry someone else will be along soon to correct me xx
welcome to the forum x

Its totally normal and natural for rabbits to eat their own feces - lovely :lol:

the bridge is what people say when their bunnys die and on a happier note a binky is when your bun jumps about like a nutter doing fancy leg kicks when he is happy.. :lol:

:wave: hi and welcome :wave:

Yes this is completely normal - they do eat their own poos it is actually good for them - mine have a habit though totally litter trained still leave a few stray poops on the sofa - i think because it smells of us and they are marking their terririory

The bridge is where our buns go when they die, there are some lovely poems and stories and a section dedicated to rainbow bridge on this forum - they can run free on grass and fields and become whole again..

A Binky is something our buns do when happy and excited - they leap about flicking their legs and shaking their heads (looks strange) but a good sign if your bun binkies!!

thank you didnt know how to spell it

thank you guys for the quick replies! He is so lovely but the way he lies down with his little back paws spread cracks me up, sometimes I think his little actions and characteristics are very dog like. Glad the eating pooh thing is normal . As for binkying, if that is what it means then he is a binky champion ! I will post some pics of him later. Thanks again all, I am so glad I found this site.
