Question

Answer
Actually, they are telling you that they are happy.  The jumping up in the air and turning around is sometimes called a binky, and only happy rabbits do those.  The running around is sometimes called the Bunny 500, and sometimes they miss the turn and do run into the wall.  This is normal behavior for bunnies.
