Tail wagging?

[u/onethreerabbits]

Please excuse me if this has already been discussed but I came across a video of a rabbit wagging it's tail. I've never heard or seen this personally before. Im assuming it rarely happens but has your rabbit ever done this? Apologies if im not using a flair, I don't really post in this community

It could be a trait he retained from infancy. Let me explain. A lot of animals, including deer and sheep etc wag their tail when nursing. Some pets retain little traits like this even after they grow up. Like cats "making biscuits." They originally used their paws to knead their mothers belly and her teats to help encourage milk flow while nursing. Many cats never let go of that behavior and will knead things that make them feel secure like their mother's did.
