        does anyone have a video or pic of a bunny flicking his/her feet back? i can’t tell if my bun is doing it or not- he does something like it on a fairly regular basis which worries me if he is trying to communicate unhappiness!

          I don’t have a pix, but I can say that it is not the same as a foot thump. A thump, which is rather loud, is a sign of disapproval. A flick usually happens when the bunny is taking off at the start of a run, so is not nearly as negative in its meaning.

            Yes I have Ruby doing her foot flick let me go find the video.  Ahh here you go.  The foot flicks are at the very beginning.  You will see her run off kicking up her feet.

              Yeah the video looks similar to what Max is doing. Its always right when I let him out of his cage- could he be telling me like “it’s about time you let me out”? I’m fixing to build him a play pen so that should help.
