Floor lickers and teeth grinders?

I was wondering if any of your fluffs lick the floor and grind their teeth when they flop put or do the dead bunny pose?

Both of mine seem to do it.

Bruce licks the floor when he initially flops - hard floor or carpet he doesn't mind. Then he rolls a bit more upright and the teeth crunch away. Then he looks really contented

Joey's routine is usually : burrow on floor, keel over and flop on the floor where he's burrowed then lick his paws and floor.

Lil Loll has a real grudge against the floor, any floor... all floors!

He flings himself down as hard as he can. No licking, no grinding or grunting... just sheer aggression in one movement!

Flora licks the walls, the house outside brick walls

Perhaps with a little encouragement you could get her to licck the paint work... or the windows. Now there's a thought.... bunny window cleaners; wash with tongues, polish with scuts!

But you would only end up with clear shiny strips along the bottom of every window.

Luna licks the floor then lies down! I've always wondered if other rabbits do it lol

Stewie licks the floor and the sofas, my trousers, face, hair, hand etc! He only grinds his teeth when he's getting a bunny massage

It can be and usually is when you are giving attention on their terms. Flo does the other form of grinding - it is louder and faster. She does it when I have picked her up when she is being naughty and then she lets me know if I don't put her down NOW I will regret it!

You mean I can't fix him on the end of a long pole so he can do the lot?

Aww haha! Jeeves really does fling himself on the floor too, he eyes it up and then just goes for it. Often sideways.

I was curious too so had to ask!


My pair seem to grind their teeth fairly loud but they look perfectly content so they must just be really happy.

Tigger licks my legs after I've been giving her strokes, like 'thanks mummy, love you too, your turn!'

Thumper licks the floor and grinds her teeth whenever she feels like it! No flopping required!

I'd like to see you try to sell that idea to him!

Utility bunnies

Utility bunnies...Oh my side is killing me from laughing

Well... some would say about Loll that he's neither use nor ornament!

Love it! The bear is chief glass washer, but only when there's booze in the glasses, and he's achieved some wonderful and unique indoor 'features' - such as a door that has no edges, 'rounded' we call it; a post modernist carpet, with holes in it for your cup of coffee or glass of wine; an uber functional TV remote control that is so avante garde that you have to just guess which button does what, because it has no button information left, and the 'enter button' is missing completely - this is very functional, as you have to stick your pinkie into a hole and press a switch on the circuit board.. I could go on...

Loll doesn't chew carpets... maybe I should have the bear over to chew a hole for my wine glass and then maybe Loll wouldn't kick it over!

Oh...and having got Loll sorting out the window cleaning I've decided to add a few poles and bung him up the chimney to sweep that.... may as well get my moneys worth!

Once Loll has eaten all the bird seed and grown his wings i'm sure he can fly up the chimney and clean it

Josie... can't have that... he's unneutered, he'd be up outta that chimney and away after the fisrt pretty wild doe who flashed her scut at him!

Oh no thats a definate NO NO

Tell Lil Loll no flying incase he gets tempted
