Walking Bunny?

Evey now and then, Marnie 'walks' rather than hops....it's usually when she is going through a tunnel or something similar...but is this normal?
 
Our rabbit 'walks' sometimes. She sometimes 'walks' backwards (after a fashion) to get out of a confined space. It's not as elegant or as fast as 'hopping', but she gets the job done.:?
 
Oh yes, completely normal. Both Bo and Blakey do this when going through tunnels and if they come to a space they not sure they'll fit through. I think it's really funny and call it their piggy walk cos it reminds me of a guinea pig :lol::lol:
 
It's fine :)

Skye ONLY walked for the first few days I had her, and she still does it now if she's investigating something new and potentially scary - it's her way of checking stuff out cautiously without get in too deep too quickly :lol: or also if she's got stuck somewhere and needs to ease her way out :lol:
 
Mine do it mainly when they're wary of something - if I put something new in the aviary for example - so it may be she's just a little unsure about going through the tunnel. :)
 
Both of mine do it when they're unsure of something or trying to squeeze somewhere with limited space (like underneath the shoe rack where I frequently found a Smudgie before I ruined his fun by moving it :roll: )
