  So tonight my bunny flopped, this is nothing new. Normally when he flops, his body is very relaxed and sometimes will curl up a little bit and start grooming his paws. THIS time, he flopped on his side and his legs looked very tense and were kinda sticking out when normally one leg would just be laying on the other. I went over to him and tried to move his body and the lower half of his body was a little stiff.
  
  Is this normal flop behavior??? I have not noticed anything different in his movements.

  Normal flop behavior! Just stretching out those back legs. The first time my friend bunny-sat for me while I was away, he thought the bun had died when he did that!
