Just like people have different ways to move: jumping, running, skipping, etc., rabbits do too. One special, and sometimes surprising, movement rabbits do when they’re happy is called a “binky,” according to Chewy. A rabbit can be hopping around normally, or even sitting quietly, and then with a sudden burst of energy begin hopping around. It might look crazy, but it’s normal behavior for rabbits. It looks a lot like when your dog gets the “zoomies” and begins running at breakneck speed, often in circles, for no apparent reason.
“Binkying or dancing or happy hopping is when a rabbit runs around fast, kicks up its rear limbs to the side, and shakes its head,” says Veterinary Consultant for Chewy, Dr. Melissa Witherell. She adds sometimes all four of the rabbit’s feet are off the ground at once and says it means a rabbit is feeling good.
