Does this hurt the rabbits at all?

That is pretty cool. Scary looking though if you didn't know what they were doing.

I think rabbits being in a trance is a fairly natural occurance. In the wild, stoats use it to their advantage, they leap and dance around, putting the rabbit in a trance, before making the kill.

My RB rabbit Cookie used to lie on his back sometimes, but I don't think he was ever in a trance.

Being on their back does not hurt a rabbit. It does not put Miss Hoppy in a trance, either - she stays alert and ready to flip back the entire time, but that's my feisty girl!
