When rabbits hop in "figure eights"

[momofonly]

Does anyone know what it means when a bunny hops around your feet in a figure eight pattern? My bunny does this a lot when I take her outside. I had a male bunny twenty years ago who did it when he was young (and unneutered) also.

I think it's a good time to give a treat - rabbits are trainable and it would be a cute trick.

I've had a few rabbits who did that. One did it to me before she would start a game of hide and go seek with me. I think it's your bunny wanting to either play with you or to show it's affection for you.

Aw, how cute. Makes me want to go outside now and cuddle her.
