Self-trancing bunny??

[Audrey]

I know it is possible to trance rabbits but is it possible for them to trance themselves?

Our 3 month old Flemish Giant occasionally will sit very very still in a box in her cage and zones out intensely for anywhere from a few minutes to a half hour.

Its like shes in a trance, staring into space and barely moving until we do someting around her to catch her attention...it can be easy at times, and difficult at others. [[my roommate actually thought she was dead once until she binkied in his face...needless to say, she startled him lol]]

is this a normal behavior??

Yeah it's normal, I know my Harper does it a lot. I think he looks pretty funny when he does it.

My bun does this all the time. Sometimes they're awake and just staring into space. Often, they're actually asleep, since rabbits can sleep with their eyes open.
