What is my rabbit doing?

She keeps running around, jumping in the air, while kicking her legs and shaking her head.

She often doesn't know where she is going to land and bumps into stuff.. She looks like she is exited?

Also, she lays down and sprawls out and suddenly gets up, like she is frightened and sniffs-there is nothing to scare her?

    The happiest rabbit expression is commonly called a “binky.” It’s impossible to mistake for anything else, and the first time you see one you will probably wonder if the poor thing is having a convulsion. When a rabbit binkies, it jumps into the air and twists its head and body in opposite directions (sometimes twice) before falling back to the ground. This can be done while standing in one place, or while running, which is really weird looking, and is sometimes called the “happy bunny dance.” A rabbit can even turn 180o in midair. All this is a rabbit’s way of telling you straight out that it is happy and overall pleased with you and its life. Some rabbits binky a lot and some hardly at all, even if they are being treated well. Everyone has their own temperament.

    It is most likley a binky, both my rabbits frequently binky its adorable. Please do not be alarmed. Also if you find it is not a binky pleas do inform a vet. If it is a binky have fun with you fur baby and take lots of pics. Also if you want to get your rabbit to binky more then give him/her lots of freedom and playtime Hope this helps. Enjoy!
