Why Do Rabbits Do That Little Jump and Twist? (It’s Called a Binky!)

If you’ve ever seen your rabbit jump, twist, and zoom around like a furry ninja — congratulations, your bunny is happy.

That joyful movement is called a “binky.” It’s how rabbits express excitement, comfort, and playfulness. It might look random or clumsy, but it’s a rabbit’s way of saying: “Life is good!”

Not all rabbits binky right away — especially if they’re new or still adjusting to their home. Give them time, space, and gentle handling. Once they trust you? Get ready for the zoomies.

So next time you see your bunny launch into the air like it just heard good news — smile. You’re doing something right. 🐇💕
