  Hey guys!
  
     I was cooking some food the other day, and looked over at Cinder and saw her displaying some interesting behavior I’ve never seen before. I’ve been slightly worried, but since it hasn’t occurred since, I haven’t really thought about it much. Any help is appreciated if you’ve spotted your bun doing the same thing.
  
     I looked over at her and she was loafing, which is no big deal but what was weird is that she was almost leaning to one side. It was her whole body, not her head so I know it isn’t head tilt. It was almost like you’re falling asleep and your body just wants to give in and slump over. I don’t know how to really explain it further, but it scared the bejeezus out of me since she’s never done that before.
  
  So yeah, anyone else spotted their bun doing this? She perked up when she heard her name, so she doesn’t have head tilt or anything. Just thought it was weird to be loafing and leaning like she was going to be on her side.

  Wick leans when he loafs while being very relaxed. Always in a daze like he’s dreaming, so as long as you believe it’s not a head tilt, it’s something I’ve observed in my healthy bun. It’s like his head is too heavy to hold up, so he just lets it move to the side.

  Yes that sounds normal. Just like humans, when rabbits go into REM sleep/dream they loose control of their muscles. If not loafed properly they tend to fall over, so cute! So she was probably just very relaxed, dreaming of carrots

  The wookie has done this before too. It’s super cute but disconcerting
