My Rex Rabbits behaviour

Question
Hi There,

I recently bought my 7 week old Rex rabbit.  He seemed fine and understandably shy at first but now is moving round the hutch eating and pooing without hesitation!!

but every so often it flinches and jumps out of control then it is fine then does it again? Sort of spasms?

Is this normal behaviour?

Should I get it checked out via a Vet?

Thanks

Answer
Dear Asghar,

I can't see the bunny, but it sounds as if he's doing a happy dance we bunny people call the "binky."  What he really needs is to come out of the cage and run on a carpeted area so he can really show you his stuff!  You will be endlessly entertained by his antics as he leaps and twirls in his joy to be with you!
