Binkies are the most amazing expression of happyiness and joy ever!!
Well actually I have contested that in the past
They tend to binky when in a wide open space like the garden - now that looks like jumping for joy to us humans, but I think it's a combination of high spirits and instinctive behaviour to evade any predators there might be in that wide open area. If a fox chases a rabbit it binkies to get it's bum out of the jaws of death - and mine sometimes binky at lockup time too, when they feel I'm going to get them. They'll also binky when with strange rabbits, a bit like showing off but also because they're unsure about safety. But yes it's also high spirits I'd say, rather than happiness - excitement Here's Flump having a binky
I agree Elve. Flump also binkys when he's having a temper tantrum, such as when it's time to go to bed, or when I won't let him have access to a certain part of the garden. :lol:

Yeah- some times the buns binky when you chase them! Think its a ''cant catch me'' squirm!

It's more common in young bunnies so I think it could be linked to practice for escaping and dodging.
I do thinks its also high spirits tho, Scamp does it loads when he's let out. He's definitely not scared, he does it when you tickle his whiskers then comes back so you do it again :lol:

How odd, Charm does it when I'm nowhere near him. He's running across my room and then he does it whilst running and nearly breaks his neck. His timing is impecable though. I'd end uo in a wall, he avoids a crash.

I find the temper trantrum binky is slightly different, and usually accompanied by tail flicking, or even foot flicking.
