        I read in an older post about the bum twitch in bunnies that seem to occur when eating bananas. I wanted to re visit the topic as I just noticed sprocket doing it. Google says it’s no cause for concern and it seems to occur when bunnies get something super delicious and I guess that’s why bananas seem to get singled out as the holy grail of all treats. Does anyone else have bunnies doing the bum twitches?

          Most or all of my rabbits have done the bum twitch when getting banana or other yummy treats. Definitely no cause for concern.

            Never seen it in Clover. Of course, when she smells banana, she rushes over and mugs me for it.

              Olly loves bananas, when he gets banana I get bunny licks, happy dances, bunny flops, things like that.

              Its like when you give a young child a favorite sweet, they might clap their hands, shake their head, dance and a big smile.

                Thor gets major butt twiches from banana. It looks like her bum is dancing to techno music

                  Ok, I’ve never heard of this so now I want to see it! Video anyone?

                  P.s. My rabbit is trying to tell me It’s because I don’t feed him enough bananas ?

                    All of my bunnies did/do the banana bum twitch. So funny! It looks pretty involuntary to me- strange that it doesn’t seem to happen with apples, papaya, etc… probably a scientific explanation but I’ll just call it cute and leave it at that ?

                      I’ll try and get a video of it next time. I’ll let you know. But basically imagine your leg after a long run when it starts twitching on its own

                        There are several bunny butt twitching videos on You Tube. Here is one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x2lkg81Ttg

                            Love the banana butt shake!!! I think bananas have to be the universal bunny preferred treats.

                            My current two don’t do it but I’ve seen it before.
