Bunny Binkies
What is "binky" behaviour in rabbits?
"Binky" behaviour in rabbits is a joyful and exuberant expression of happiness. It is a term used to describe a series of rapid, twisting, and jumping movements that rabbits often exhibit when they are feeling particularly happy and playful.
Binkying is one of the most delightful and endearing behaviours that rabbit owners can observe. Characteristics of a binky may include:
Twists and Turns:
The rabbit may twist its body mid-air, showing off acrobatic moves.
High Jumps:
Rabbits may jump into the air with all four feet leaving the ground simultaneously.
Speed and Energy:
Binkies are often performed with a burst of energy, with the rabbit running or hopping around in a playful manner.
Shaking or Twitching:
Some rabbits may shake or twitch their bodies mid-binky, adding an extra flair to the display.
Binkying is a positive and natural behaviour that indicates a rabbit is feeling happy, content, and comfortable in its environment. Rabbits may binky in response to various stimuli, such as fresh hay, a favourite treat, or simply the joy of being let out for playtime. It's particularly common in young rabbits, but rabbits of all ages can exhibit binkying behaviour.
Witnessing your rabbit binkying is a joyful experience and a clear sign that your rabbit is in good spirits. Encouraging a safe and stimulating environment, providing proper care, and spending quality time interacting with your rabbit can contribute to their overall happiness and likelihood of displaying binky behaviour.

Cats are territorial creatures of habit and can find catteries very stressful and upsetting. It is generally agreed by pet professionals that they are most relaxed and comfortable staying in their own homes when "parents" go away for short or long breaks. Travelling to and from catteries can also be stressful for both you and your cat. Our Cat Sitting service means your cat can stay home whenever you are away.
Since the beginning of 2019 CitiKiti has also offered cat behaviour therapy as well. Cat behaviour therapy can help if your cat is urine marking, stressed, anxious, aggressive, destructive or urinating or defecating outside the litter tray. The CitiKiti Cat Behaviourist can also offer advice on getting cats to get along, getting cats and dogs to live together peacefully, and taking care of kittens or older cats.
