Binky and then pees

Question

My Rabbit
Dear Expert,
my rabbit (recently adopted, almost 3 mths old already)
binky... and then almost immediately pees.
1) is she abnormal? (binky..AND THEN almost certainly she pees. Have her for 3 weeks now. Happens each time.)
2) if it is normal, could you possibly offer ANY insight as to why she would jump up into the air, kicks her leg, settles somewhere.. and wee.

Thank you and hope I was no bother!

Answer
Dear Julianne,

What you describe is not really abnormal.  She is just having fun and settling into a routine.

But if she is urinating excessively and drinking more than is normal (about 90-100ml/kg per day, including what's in her food), then you might want to have her checked by a good rabbit vet:

She is very cute!
