That is a very good sign as he is saying " I love you very much" and it's one of the highest compliments a bunny can pay us as not all bunnies will lick their owners Very Happy

Bruce only started licking me about a year ago - he is 8 now. I think the issue with him was that he did not want to lick my hands and due to the current set up he gets much more of an opportunity to get at my nose these days, which is apparently the best place to lick. Flo doesn't lick (what shocker! Laughing )

Layla was licking hudad's fingers the other night. I suspect it may have something to do with the fact that he had traces of bananananananananana chip on them Laughing

Awww Love very good sign, how cute! Nibbler licks me but only on my clothes, sometimes I think he's giving me a bunny kiss, sometimes I think he's just enjoying licking fabric, as he does..

OOOOOOOOOOH! You are bunny blessed! That is the utmost compliment a bunny can give you!

Grooming is the most important way of expression in bunny society. And by grooming you, your bunny has accepted you into it's warren(or family). In a warren there is a "Royal' rabbit who is boss and it directs things. if the Royal bunny presents itself for grooming, the other bunny MUST groom it to remain accepted. A Royal rabbit show favor by grooming a subject.

Bunnies are the best!

Um, this is just so hard...does it start with the letter 'D' as in DAISY! ROFL Daisy of 'the entire world is mine and I just let you mere human in it to give me noms' Twisted Evil He is a cutie and a little love though! So much personality in such a wee bun!

Did you ever wonder if he is just trying to get back at you for giving him a girls name?

Perhaps! Although he is boarding at the vets at the moment while I am away - I'm not sure they will put up with his demands! I am in for a hard time when I get him home!
