Do other rabbits do this?

[Peony]

It is not bad or anything but I find it strange?

 First off when my rabbit gets under the bed, she thumps under it like once every 2-3 minutes. Is there a reason for this? She is used to the sounds around here and if there is something she don’t like, she simply runs to her sleep area in the pen.

 After some rearranging the room she is still fascinated at “digging” at a corners. Not the kind that has the pointy end facing her, but the inside, side… When we pulled up this one rug it actually had a hole in it (we do not care this was given to her with the mindset it might be ruined so she does not ruin the real thing.) On her new floor of her hutch she digs at this comer that is actually the corner of the room. Why does she dig at corners so much (even walls of my real room, she actually tried nipping the walls =.=, not the baseboard or anything like that, i mean she periscope and tried to nip the wall.

Now my Mom calls her sentry bunny because she sleeps at the of my room (or the pen door in the old arrangement) My Mom said that is her way of saying haha, I will not let you close this door.

 She runs around my bed all happy and happy jumps off and on but I picked her up and put her on my mom’s bed and she runs around in circles look scared while having Moments of ‘this is interesting’ Why is my rabbit obsessed with my bed but wants little to do with my moms? She even jump then come the rest for a total of 30 inches to get on my bed when I tried to block it off once. I took that down and just let her have the bed since I did not want her hurting herself from being so desperate over being on my bed.

Rabbits dig because it is hardwired in them to want to dig burrows. Some like to dig in carpet or cardboard, some just like to dig. My girl digs in the plastic pet store cage where I keep their litter boxes, and she’ll nip at the floor too while she’s digging.

She probably likes your bed because it smells like you, and now that she’s been on it, it also smells like her and she considers it part of her territory

I know that, I am just confused why it is always corners. It is also the type of corners that bend in, not having the pointy end on her side.

 After moving her Hutch for the new setup, she moves this huge cat litterbox to dig in the corner, then tries to dig at the other corner where the ramp hits the floor. Then I have this box for her to play in and I had to put a timothy hay mat at this one corner because she goes nuts there.

The new setup also allows her to go on the roof on her hutch from my bed with a nic grid setup and she tries to dig in the corner of that too.

Then another corner is formed by her hutch and my bed, and I put a bed a bride there so she is not continuously trying to bite metal bars =.= (My under of the bed is protected by a nic setup because my mom does not want her under it since it would be hard to clean accidents.)

Stickers always picks corners too. She loves corners. I think, for a rabbit mind, the corner would be a good starting place for a burrow because it’s closed in on most sides and not as easy to see. Prey instincts, my guess. When we had mice (wild) in our house, they liked corners too. *shrug*
