What Your Rabbit’s Binkies and Zoomies Really Mean

If you’ve ever seen a rabbit leap into the air, twist its body, and kick its feet out, you’ve witnessed a ‘binky.’ This is the ultimate expression of pure joy in a rabbit. It’s a sign that your bunny is feeling safe, healthy, and absolutely ecstatic. Similarly, ‘zoomies’—when a rabbit tears around the room at top speed—is a release of pent-up energy and happiness. While it can be startling, it’s a wonderful sign of a well-adjusted pet. A happy rabbit is an active rabbit, and these behaviors are the closest they come to dancing with delight.
