2 questions: Rolling around and poop as jumping

[Sabrina]

Bun Bun started rolling around on the floor tonight, first time she has done that. Is this a happy sign? It reminds me of when the cats roll in cat nip.

Second, she poops all the time it seems. While jumping across the room, sitting next to me or a cat (whom she so wants to play with and they run). To when she is laying down. Is this marking? Normal? Abnormal? Does it stop once spayed?

Yup, happy sign As for the poop, I think it’s normal, mine used to do it often as a baby. Nowadays he sometimes does it to mark the territory and to confuse the predator (me picking him up) while trying to run away when it’s med time. If it’s territorial it should subside after spaying, if it’s defensive it will linger but hopefully she won’t need to distract predators often once she’s a big bun

Thanks. I was hoping it was her just being happy to be out since I was gone longer than usual due to a meeting.

I second Muchelle. That’s the terribly cute happy-flop. And normal young bunny and/or territorial pooping. My 4-year old female still drops poop markers along her perimeter line occasionally.
