Flopapalooza -- The DBF, or Dead Bunny Flop

Ethel almost gave me a heart attack. Bunya and Ethel flop (especially Ethel) and we think it is really cute. This time, she fell over further than usual - until I saw her breathing, I couldn't breathe.

New bunny owners are not prepared for this and are often scared when first encountered. Flopping is good, just like binkying - it means you are doing the right stuff and have a happy, relaxed, comfortable bunny. As an experienced owner, you abbreviate this behavior as DBF, for dead bunny flop (always hoping it never lives up to its name).



When the meme of Ethel was posted on the Rabbit Ramblings Facebook page, a number of people sent in their own pictures of their heart attacks, I mean, bunnies flopped. Quite an assortment...

Honeybun,
