Question
I have just gotten a pet rabbit(months old) and when it is outside its cage and running around...it sometimes jumps kiking its behind legs up; is this a sign of happines or is the rabbit mad about something?  

Answer
Dear Atina,

This is the happy bunny dance known as the "binky."  Your bunny is happy to be out and kicking up his heels!  :)
