I didn't make these. Bought them for resale from some people I buy from on a regular basis. I will be making some eventually.

Agreed! Although for some reason my rabbit lay by her own will on my hands!

When baby bunnies suckle on their backs, are they tranced and massively stressed?

@@fungames24 they probably feel safe as their mother is literally right above them, however, placing rabbits on their backs yourself takes advantage of their tendency to “play dead.” In studies, behavioural observation (facial expression, ear position etc) and physiological monitoring (heart rate and stress hormone levels) suggest that the rabbits are both well aware of their surroundings, and are exhibiting a fear response rather than being calmed by the position. It is also very important to note that, even if they do not react, they are still perfectly capable of feeling pain.

@@caterra- All the rabbit videos showing them eating vegetables on their backs show the rabbits playing dead? My study of your behaviour suggests you have no clue.

@@fungames24 McBride et al. (2006) observed that rabbits held in a tonic immobility position had elevated respiratory rates, heart rates, and plasma corticosterone concentration. Additionally, they expressed fear behaviours such as widened eyes and flattened ears, and demonstrated more hiding behaviours and fewer grooming behaviours post-trancing. There is strong evidence that these physiological and behavioural responses are consistent with a fear-motivated stress state (Day 2004). It has also been demonstrated that rabbits will anticipate entering the tonic immobility state and do so more quickly with exposure, but they do not become habituated and it remains stressful (Farabollini et al. 1990). You can look up those studies, just because a rabbit doesn’t react does not mean they aren’t uncomfortable.

@@fungames24 and you do? Some rabbits do roll onto their backs themselves when they flop, that’s because they feel safe. But placing rabbits on their backs deliberately may trance them. Rabbits that have been frequently placed in a tonic immobility position learn to anticipate when this will happen, and become stressed more quickly and enter a TI state more quickly.

Who told you that?

@@caterra- American science should be discarded because they are paid per piece of junk.
