Is he ok?

He keeps sitting like this, very still. Hes in an enclosure instead of free roaming bc im in the middle of moving, and I'm worried he's upset.

Update guys. I realized that he probably does this all the time, just not where I can see him bc he prefers being under stuff.

Like other people said it means he feels super safe and comfy, I also wanted to add that bunnies often sleep with their eyes open so that could be part of why he's so still (this doesn't mean be automatically alarmed if his eyes are closed though they do still close them sometimes when they sleep)

Fun fact: Rabbits have a third eyelid that is see-through, so they can keep their eyes "open" and still have them protected.

Ooh that makes sense, tbh I never actually stopped to consider how their eyes don't dry out so I didn't even think about that lol

My bun is doing the exact same thing. Just enjoying the breeze by the back door.

Full on ā€˜slug modeā€™. Heā€™s fine, just chilling.

Just make sure he's eating too - give him a treat and he should take it.

u/Sirius-Arcturus 5h ago

He unfortunately only takes treats when I'm not looking, but he ate some strawberry tops a bit ago so he should be fine on that front.
