Ok so, i’ve started noticing that every time I give my bun a banana his back kinda moves while he eats it. I don’t know if I should be concerned or not? Idk if it’s normal but i just wanted to ask(btw he LOVES to eat😂). So, any answers to that??
 
The twitching back end is no cause for concern, however the banana may be. Hopefully you are not offering an entire banana at one time. Maybe an inch slice in one day would be enough sugar for the day. A whole banana could cause some serious tummy issues -- particularly with some rabbits.
 
What a funny little dance! I'm with "poohlean" here: why do they do that? Bananas for bananas. I've never fed my bunnies bananas, but now I'll have to try a small amount to see how they respond...
 
Aah, the butt dance. Some rabbits are more inclined to do it than others.
My first bun Musti wouldn't do it ever, other bun Lümi would show it weakly, current Iris will show a really mild version, but current Storm is on another level.
His banana butt twitch is so serious that it has spread from his butt to his rump up his back and down the belly- now almost every bit of him up to his scapulas wiggles in banana.
Though it's not just banana that gets him moving-various other treats and snacks like blackberry leaves and pellets get him to dance but none to the extent that banana does.
Fun to watch but surely has spooked many of our guests who became witness to the banana butt wiggle for the first time.
