Rabbit behavior question

[evilpettingz00]

Hello!  I put an igloo (this sort of thing) in my rabbit's cage and he spends a lot of time flipping it on its side or upside-down.  He never leaves it right-side up even though my other rabbit at least seems to appreciate it that way.  From this behavior, should I assume that he's most likely thinking

Haha, he probably thinks it is fun to flip over. I bought my bunnies a willow bark tunnel and Penny flipped it over on its side.

I think you should try (e) All of the above! I never know what mine are thinking, even though I am aware that they are clearly judging me. Maybe reposition it, and see if that works better? Or maybe he's having a hard time getting inside?

I'd guess it's playing. I sometimes find my girls' igloos upside down or on their side in their runs. And they always seem to enjoy throwing things around. However, for the most part I find Elphie especially likes sitting on top of the thing.

My boy LOVED to throw things around, flipping them over and all around his enclosure (including his litterbox....oiy) so I'd go with playtime shenanigans...

flipping things over is fun! at least that is what my bunnies thought, may they rest in peace (they were brothers that died at the ages of 8 and 9, and i miss them horribly).

Oh noes, Sweater and Scarf are gone?

yes, they are both hopping around the rainbow bridge. i miss them horribly. i want another bun, but with 8 parakeets, a green cheek conure, 3 cats and a dog i'm not sure if i have room for them. we will see in spring/summer when the shelter gets it's annual bunny dump. i'd rather get a shelter bun than buy another one.
