Do rabbits ever binky for reasons other than happiness? If a bunny does regular binkies and DBF's is it a happy bunny, or could the behaviour be anything else? Im just curious as the neck wound bunny I have that had a pretty naff start to life is always pinging around with glee or I assume its glee. I just want to be sure she's happy and its nothing else.

Binkies mean happy bunnies as far as I'm concerned. I think bunny 500's (is that what they are called) are sometimes practice for escaping predators

I would assume she is very happy and enjoying her life

Thank goodness, she just seems to do so much! She's an indoor bun at the moment as I didnt want her outside when she needed so much care and was such a high risk of flystrike, but hopefully in a few weeks she can go outside and have even more space to binky.

Agree with Lenslady - she's probably extra happy because you've given her a lovely life and she knows what the alternative is

She's a real little fighter to have survived, even the vet was amazed. Every bunny is so special is different ways, she reminds me a lot of one of my previous bunnies in personality, such an outgoing cheeky girl for a prey animal. I hope she continues to be happy for many many years to come.
