I’ll vouch for ya on that haha. True.!!! I rescued an abandoned rabbit and thought I was only going to be keeping her til someone Else would take her but however many years later ... I have a rabbit 😂... they really hardly do anything , they make only ever any grunting honking like sounds and that’s only if they’re pissed or displeased snd ive only ever heard any honks once or Twice when she was mad about where someone set her bowl .. but yeah they just sit and stare at a Wall. I’m like exercise ! Let’s go ! Ur out of ur cage ( I only keep her caged at all for her safely when everyone’s sleeping so she doesn’t chew crap up )!?but yeah .. the cat tries so hard to interact but she hardly does crap. But will binky down the hall at times ( which is rabbit for randomly spazzing out in mid air and flipping And kicking ur back legs out to the side. Apparently they do it when they’re extremely content. So that’s cool. But first time seeing it. it’s like did that rabbit just stroke out ? It looks very “‘special “ Hahaha it’s cute though. It’s just something they do all their own 😂. Otherwise it’s staring at the wall and random few hops and sitting there not wanting to do much. Really stresses the cat out haha
