Bunny Bucking. Hahaha

Ba-Bomb does this super cute thing when she's playing, she'll jump straight up - sometimes an entire foot into the air - and kick like a little pony. Every now and then, she'll turn 180 and sometimes even a full 360!

Isn't there a danger of rabbits breaking their own backs because they can kick so hard? Ricky told me to always support her little bum when I'm carrying her, to keep her from kicking...

The jumping thing sounds like what guinea pigs do to get rid of excess energy.  For the piggies it's called "popcorning."

Ohhh. That could be it? I didn't know piggies did it too.

She also will hop around, then suddenly run forward in a random burst of energy... but it's not because she spooked at something because well, there's never usually anything there. And I am very careful to not talk loud or make any sudden movement. Besides, she knows who I am and likes to kiss my toes, hehehehe. Anyhow, think that has to do with excess energy too?

that "bunny bucking" is calling a binky. when rabbits play they'll binky and run in spurts and shake their heads in fun. trying binky-ing back ;-)

rabbits can break their back if they try to kick into the air with nothing to push off of (the ground, you, ect), normally if someone is carrying them incorrectly by not supporting their feet/bottom.

Ok. Gotcha... so, she can't hurt herself when she jumps to binky, right?

Funny terms hahaha.
