Stupid Rabbit Question

[mambo101]

Do bunnies ever close their eyes? I've never seen my mini-lop close her eyes so I was just wondering about that.

yep they do i believe they have tobe very comfortable and relaxed to fall asleep with their eyes closed..and omg, it's hilarious if you ever get to seea bunny so deepin sleep that they're DREAMING! lol.. little legs kick.. chewingimaginary hay.. we usually end up snickering and waking them up but seems for the most part bunnies are justreally high strung and prey oriented so they're very light sleepers whosleep with their eyes open.

My rabbit, Bella went to sleep with her eyesclosed for the first time that I've noticed last night. I don't thinkshe dreamed of anything though. Onzlo woke her up pretty fast.

It's pretty rare for my rabbits to relax enough to really fall asleep. Though Rex...*giggle*

Last night he was trying to roll over onto his back *snicker*...He'snot exactly made for laying on his back. So he kept rolling to one sideand trying to get back on his back again. He looked like he was havinga spasm. hehehehehehehe...I couldn't help but laugh at him

Ok, then here's a follow-up question. I've never seen Steffie blink. Is that OK?

Rabbit's don't blink often, something about theireye structure that I can't remember at the moment, ( I can't thinkbefore noon...)
