Binky-chase always ends with Scamp doing a sudden stop instead of a run, so the chaser has to take avoiding action to avoid stepping on him. That&#8217;s your cue to administer nose rubs and, as soon as you signal your willingness to comply, he&#8217;ll flop over until he&#8217;s received enough ear rubs to recharge ready for the next round. This goes on for at least an hour &#8211; with occasional snack breaks &#8211; which is when he scoffs down his home baked treats.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very hard to get photos of this process, particularly the chasing part as it&#8217;s usually evening when the light is bad and I&#8217;m chasing a rabbit which is never a good combination for non blurry photos which include the rabbit in the shot. I did manage to get these of the flop portion, although you&#8217;ll have to excuse the angle as he was flopped across my feet which again makes taking a picture a little tricky.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1031\" title=\"rabbit flop\" src=\"http:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3129b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"527\" height=\"526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3129b.jpg 527w, https:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3129b-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3129b-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3129b-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 527px) 100vw, 527px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1032\" title=\"flopped rabbit\" src=\"http:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3130b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"578\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3130b.jpg 578w, https:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3130b-300x252.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 578px) 100vw, 578px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1033\" title=\"rabbit sleeping\" src=\"http:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3131b.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"656\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3131b.jpg 656w, https:\/\/www.therabbithouse.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/IMG_3131b-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t he look cute and sleepy?
