When bunnies flop over its known as a bunny flop. Its not a very graceful move. It kind of looks like a wrestler flopping on the ground to do a roll. When your rabbit does the flop, its usually because its content, or feeling playful. My bunny does it all the time. She flops onto her side and gets ready to go to sleep or when she is playing.
I hope I've helped you. :)

It means he is very content. Our bunnies will throw themselves down (we thought it was a problem) and it just a total relaxation.
BTW - they don't want to be petted after they have "flopped."

No your bunny is fine, ours falls over and looks like he is dead, a few seconds later he is off and running around the house, with the dog and cat trailing behind, it is just a bunny thing to do, (O:

Rabbit are up a lot at night. I have about 35 rabbits. Some of my rabbits do the same thing. They are just tired from being up at night.

It means that he enjoys your company and wants you to rub his tummy. Sort of like a dog huh? just play with him a lot and you'll be geting lots of bunny kisses

All rabbits do this. It can't hurt to give it more toys. They love paper bags, paper towel tubes, baby keys, untreated wicker baskets and phone books. http://www.rabbit.org

It sound to me that he is just content and he could just be tired.
