maybe a dumbass question, but do rabbits sleep?

I've had mine for two years, and I just realized I've never seen her sleep. Even when I wake up in the buttfuck middle of the night, she'll be awake in her pen.

they're prey animals, so they sleep intermittently
she's definitely been asleep, you just weren't awake to see it

of course, this is assuming that there isn't some kind of stressor that would keep her from sleeping, but it's best to assume good faith

This. They're also super light sleepers, so whenever you walk in the room you wake her up if she happened to be asleep.

2 months in and I haven't seen my bun sleep either. As I understand, if you see your rabbit laying down like pic related it is because she is chill as fuck.

don't they sleep with their eyes open?

Depends on how relaxed they are. Mine sleeps with his eyes partially lidded when he's in bun-loaf mode, but if he's on his side, he'll sleep with his eyes mostly or completely closed.

Sometimes he'll fade off into deep sleep and dreams in bun-loaf mode and fall over, abruptly waking up and doing it all over again.
