I shoot loads of rabbits in the brainbox with my .22lr and they still kick and kick and kick . it's the nervous system.
If you hit them in the brain and destroy the brain the nerves may still be active . That's the way it is .
i have chest shot rabbits and had them drop stone dead,no movement (.22lr)
Ted from Teds holdover has a video on it .
Google "disinhibition .headshot animals " and his video is there . ( I hope this is not classed as linking to dead stuff )
I shot a bunny years back with a .22lr and watched it run about 20yds with it's head bobbing on the ground stone dead!!!!!
Let's face it bunnies are highly strung creatures
