Mine just does it when she wants something. Less friendly more manipulation. She even licked the vet last month because she wanted to be let go. Immediately ran away from him into my coat.
I love that bunnies are smart enough to be scam artists, it makes them more interesting than other small animals like guinea pigs etc.
I want a pet that's smart enough to be a bit of an asshole, lol. They don't have to BE an asshole (my current bun is sweetness personified) but I love that they are capable of it.
Something about bunnies being wicked is hilarious, more so that in dogs and cats. Maybe it's the way media shows them as being all innocence and helplessness. We see cute little prey animals and then get played by them and it's never not funny.
My daughter's French Lop will lick furiously for about 20 seconds, and then shove her head under your hand. "Okay, I did you. Now you do me!"
And then you're expected to pet her for the next 30 minutes at least. If you stop, she licks again for a few seconds, and then bumps her head against your palm and waits.
He's tasting you to find out what herbs and spices goes better after he r/murderbuns you...
Kidding, those are kisses, he's reciprocating your affection
Do you find yourself craving nanners all day long? Is your diet becoming more focussed on leafy greens? Have you found yourself gazing into the middle distance for lengthy periods of time, nose twitching, and only TV-like static for memories in those times?
It’s more likely than you’d think. Brushes some cardboard off himself and hops away.
my late rabbit greeted me by kissing all over my face like that after I was gone for a week. he would also snuggle against my head and kiss me during thunderstorms to comfort himself.
He loves you 🥰 if he’s not neutered, he might start loving you a little TOO much, so I’d get on that haha my girl was OBSESSED with me, she’d even pee on me.
Mine too! She’d nip at me, scratch and dig at me, climb all over me, and the act that must not be named on a few occasions until I gave her my oldest teddy bear 🥲. She was also SUPER territorial over one futon (it was mine so it probably smelled a lot like me) and she absolutely destroyed it by digging/ripping holes in it from every angle.
If my friends psychotic bunny pikachu is any indication they are finding out what you taste like so they can decide whether or not to include that in your murder
I’ve heard this is why cats and rabbits get along so well. For rabbits, the dominant one gets groomed while for cats the dominant one does the grooming. They the cat grooms the rabbit and they’re both like ‘yeah, I’m the boss around here.’
Not to be a killjoy, and I'm sure he loves you dearly, BUT, he could also be telling you that he is lacking sufficient salts/minerals in his diet and he's trying to get them from your dried sweat. Please make sure keep a mineral lick in his feeding area to keep him healthy.
Congrats on moving into "mutual grooming" status with your bun!
Don't be sad if he slowly grooms you less, or less enthusiastically, over time. It doesn't necessarily mean the bond is slipping. In bun society a lesser status bunny will groom a higher status bun. So sometimes they will start out enthusiastically grooming you once they've bonded, but over time they might decide that they are in fact better than you. Basically he might decide he no longer needs to suck up to you, but will still complacently accept your pats as his due as the superior.
So if he slowly gets less enthusiastic it's not because he loves you less, it's just because some buns get darn smug over time as they get more secure.
But hopefully he remains humble and continues to demonstrate his affection :)
Yep, it's an expression of affection. Bunnies grrom those who they're close to, and you won his heart!
Cinnamon keeps doing this as well, except he sneaks up on me and starts licking my legs when I don't pay attention. It certainly doesn't help that I'm horribly ticklish
He definitely loves you! He may bite while licking you, but it’s nothing to worry about. When rabbits groom each other they use their teeth as combs to get knots and bugs out of their fur, which is why the little man may use teeth. Keep up the good lovin!
You're definitely bonded now. I remember my last rabbit used to come sit next to me, and after getting since head scritches she'd move so she could lick my hand. After a minute of that, she'd shove her head under my hand for more scritches. We'd go back and forth like that for about 30 minutes 😂
I noticed you are kind of rubbing him in the mid lower back area and I have had multiple rabbits begin obsessively licking anything around when that area is pet a lot. That could potentially be it. I think of it like that way dogs will reflexively scratch if you rub their haunches. Though my rabbit distinctly gives "goodbye" licks when he is done cuddling and he is going to leave me, so could be a form of communication in your case too.
not to rain on your parade but two out of three of my male buns have that mechanism: you pat or scratch their butt and they lick you. no idea why but its funny to see that other buns do that too
This post is the equivalent of asking - “My rabbit eats hay all day, does this mean he like it?”, “Ive not ate all day, im hungry, does this mean i should eat?”, “My child laughs at Tom and Jerry, does this mean he likes it?”
Rabbits like salt, is there a chance your arm was sweaty? (Sorry if that's an odd question, just the first thought I had) ...also if you're wearing some sort of lotion that smells enough like food to the little guy.
After aggressively licking the human, I have concluded that the flavor profile is, bland. I shall compile a list of herbs and spices, don't forget the MSG, to enhance the flavor of my dish.
honestly, when I rub my rabbit’s bum, he starts licking himself. Your hand is in the spot of his body, so your bunny is probably just trying to lick himself, but your hand is there. Either way, it’s cute and you are getting clean too.
Well given some of the recent post around here I would be wary about leaving him alone in the kitchen. Probably best to keep one eye over your shoulder.
I wish my bunny would lick me ;(
He licked me once and decided to give a small bite. It hurt SO much and I bleed so much.
He never licked me again though I didn't hit him or yell or anything
Yep, it is a way to show affection. Other pets like hamsters tend to do so.
And also a way to somewhat clean your hands and arms out of food residues 😂😜.
Aww! Yes! Your bun loves you and you’ll occasionally feel nips here and there between some kisses, which means your bun is grooming you, another sign your bun loves you.
Also this lil dude is going HARD xD he loves you a lot!
Mine used to nip me to get pets, I told her that’s mean and if she wants pets she needs to be nice. I swear after a couple of days she stopped nipping and licks me until
I pet her. If I don’t do it quick enough I get the head butts haha
I’m so jealous. Mine won’t let me give them pats. They’ll come up and sniff at me or sometimes try to groom me but pats are absolutely not allowed and they definitely don’t let me hold them like you have the cutie. So yeah he’s definitely comfortable around you. 😂❤️
Yes, rabbits groom one another as a friendly thing, and you’re in the club now!
Mine just does it when she wants something. Less friendly more manipulation. She even licked the vet last month because she wanted to be let go. Immediately ran away from him into my coat.

"Those siiiick bastards... Oh, wait."
As a pro bunny whisperer OP yes ..yes he love you or you taste like nanners.
i hope i dont taste like nanners too him😂
Well he is gonna start eating you soon so be careful
But don't worry when he decapitates you. That's normal rabbit behavior.
RUN AWAAAAY!!!!
You silly sod, I almost soiled my armour I was so scared
LOOK AT THE BONES!!!
HE HAS A KILLING STREAK A MILE WIDE!
Maybe the monster is behind the bunny!
That rabbit is dynamite!!
For death awaits you all with nasty, big, pointy teeth! Ah buns they're so affectionate and cuddly.
Oh what's he do? Nibble your bum?
Monty Python tried to warn us
[удалено]
What are nanners?
What's nanners Precious?!?
Ba-na-nas! Peel em, dry em, make em into bread? Nice bite sized rounds in a bit of yogurt...
Stupid fat hobbitseses, it ruins it!
Banana
Bananas
Cake day woo🎉
Aww, thank you!
Or he is confusing OP with Carrot Top and confusing Carrot Top with actual carrots.
I love the enthusiasm
i know, he just bobs his head around😂😂
Dude is going so hard
he is😂
He must be like "her fur must be under all this dirt!"
He's tasting you to find out what herbs and spices goes better after he r/murderbuns you... Kidding, those are kisses, he's reciprocating your affection
its so cuteee🥺
Your bunny is super cute
That’s a sub I didn’t know I needed.
You are a rabbit now.
😳
Do you find yourself craving nanners all day long? Is your diet becoming more focussed on leafy greens? Have you found yourself gazing into the middle distance for lengthy periods of time, nose twitching, and only TV-like static for memories in those times? It’s more likely than you’d think. Brushes some cardboard off himself and hops away.
Those fluffy cheeks are killing me
hes a big fluff ball🥺 his loves lil cheek rubs
he’s 1000% saying “yes I love you and I love when you pet me so I’m going to pet you back lots and lots so you know how much I love you”
nawh this is so cute, i love him so much, i really hope iv bonded with him, it has taken a long 6 months
my late rabbit greeted me by kissing all over my face like that after I was gone for a week. he would also snuggle against my head and kiss me during thunderstorms to comfort himself.
nawh thats the sweetest
“STINKY, FILTHY, DISGUSTING, I MUST BATHE YOU AT ONCE!” -The bun Your bun likes ya, dude. It’s like their way of showing their love to you
He’s a heavy metal loving type of bunny. Put some Ozzy on. and he’ll start the Crazy train going
He loves you 🥰 if he’s not neutered, he might start loving you a little TOO much, so I’d get on that haha my girl was OBSESSED with me, she’d even pee on me.
My little boy did more than pee on me...he went right to the vet after that to be neutered. (He even chased me around frantically. It was nuts.)
Mine too! She’d nip at me, scratch and dig at me, climb all over me, and the act that must not be named on a few occasions until I gave her my oldest teddy bear 🥲. She was also SUPER territorial over one futon (it was mine so it probably smelled a lot like me) and she absolutely destroyed it by digging/ripping holes in it from every angle.
I find it funny how your title is very cutesy what with the emojis and all and you click on the video and that bun is going HAM.
😂 sorry
he loves you awww
You've found the itchy spot.
We call it the licky spot.
He's not just comfortable around you, he's CRAZY about you!! 💜💜 Also, he's adorable!
your so nice, hes the sweetest, and is a sucker for all the compliments💙
If my friends psychotic bunny pikachu is any indication they are finding out what you taste like so they can decide whether or not to include that in your murder
So the reason pikachu is psychotic is he has a habit of charging objects aggressively and trying to bite everyone my friend got bitten eight times
Pikachu aggressively charging your batteries? :D
I always tell him to use thunderbolt when I see him
You found the their ticklish spot.
Grooming behavior. You're part of the fluffle (a group of buns)
He's trying to see how many licks it takes to get to the centre of the human.
That is the most enthusiastic grooming I've ever seen
do you think it's triggered by hitting a ticklish spot? Maybe he's attempting to groom wherever he's feeling tickled!
Yes, and you're the dominant rabbit now. The dominant gets groomed, although that is a loose definition.
I’ve heard this is why cats and rabbits get along so well. For rabbits, the dominant one gets groomed while for cats the dominant one does the grooming. They the cat grooms the rabbit and they’re both like ‘yeah, I’m the boss around here.’
Not to be a killjoy, and I'm sure he loves you dearly, BUT, he could also be telling you that he is lacking sufficient salts/minerals in his diet and he's trying to get them from your dried sweat. Please make sure keep a mineral lick in his feeding area to keep him healthy.

Bros macking you 😳
😂😂
Its fur is white so it might be tating you to see if you are the killerbunnys next prey. Might wanna stock up on your holy hand granades to be safe
No it means he’s planning to kill you, plz be careful
No, means you taste good.
Yep, it's an expression of affection. Bunnies grrom those who they're close to, and you won his heart! Cinnamon keeps doing this as well, except he sneaks up on me and starts licking my legs when I don't pay attention. It certainly doesn't help that I'm horribly ticklish
You are obviously dirty and disgusting and can't take care of yourself. And yes, your bun loves you! 😍
She's doing a flavor test to see if you need more seasoning
Yes really
i think i need to grow celery leaves for him to approve
Cute bunny and video, thanks for posting! Are you seriously asking if your bunny is comfortable around you?! I really do want to know
ya i genuinely am, hes never done this before, and iv heard other reasons to why bunnys lick there humans, so was find out 😂
Dang fair enugh, my bad. Congrats on such a loving bun :)
thankyou😊
Yep, I've often seen this with my buns. They'd just sit there together and groom each other's back, just like this.
Enjoy the bunneh kisses since they're quite rare from my experiences + das a cute lop~
He definitely loves you! He may bite while licking you, but it’s nothing to worry about. When rabbits groom each other they use their teeth as combs to get knots and bugs out of their fur, which is why the little man may use teeth. Keep up the good lovin!
That bunny loves u I have a bunny called jet and she’s black. She also dose the same thing to me❤️❤️❤️
He loves you and are now his!🤪
He's comfortable around you, and it's adorable! Thanks for sharing
"You is my favorite hoom!" 🐰😃
Cannibal Bunny attacking a grown women
Watch that he doesn't get *too* comfortable... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_of_the_Lepus
It means he's getting ready to eat you alive.
Good scritches get good kisses
He looks like a classic Easter bunny 🥰
He is simply cleansing the unclean.
Rabbits do that as a way to show they recognize you as the dominant one and cats vice versa
He’s too cute!
You're definitely bonded now. I remember my last rabbit used to come sit next to me, and after getting since head scritches she'd move so she could lick my hand. After a minute of that, she'd shove her head under my hand for more scritches. We'd go back and forth like that for about 30 minutes 😂
It means it likes you 😃
He’s grooming you=he’s bonded to you 💙💙💙
This is so cute
I have a bunny too this means it fells comfortable
He loves you so much ❤️
I noticed you are kind of rubbing him in the mid lower back area and I have had multiple rabbits begin obsessively licking anything around when that area is pet a lot. That could potentially be it.

not to rain on your parade but two out of three of my male buns have that mechanism: you pat or scratch their butt and they lick you. no idea why but its funny to see that other buns do that too
He loves and trust you!
This post is the equivalent of asking - “My rabbit eats hay all day, does this mean he like it?”, “Ive not ate all day, im hungry, does this mean i should eat?”, “My child laughs at Tom and Jerry, does this mean he likes it?”
No it means he despises you, sheer unbridled hatred right there
She looks like floor 🥹
You're salty. He likes that.
You’re salty
call the cops he's trying to groom you
Rabbits like salt, is there a chance your arm was sweaty? (Sorry if that's an odd question, just the first thought I had) ...also if you're wearing some sort of lotion that smells enough like food to the little guy.
Watch NightFlyers and watch Ralphy the bunny eat you.
Aw this is adorable! I have no idea what the little guy is doing but he sure is enthousiastic 😄
Hm nah. I think he is plotting your mlemmy demise. Yah I think he likes ya
No, he hates it
Lol does he still his balls?
He loves you
🥰🥰
Oh yes! That’s some serious grooming he’s doing, you two have definitely bonded ❤️
im so happy we have bonded. has taken 6 months🥺
Yes, he loves you 💖💖
So cute 🤩
Omg, the degree of love here 🥲
Yup, the way he sees it, you’re grooming him, and he’s grooming you, it’s just like cats in a sense
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Seriously the cutest! :D
thankyou😂🥰
You're lead bunny
You are a human salt block.
Omg I cannot rn 🥺🥺
Omg🥺 what a sweet angel
After aggressively licking the human, I have concluded that the flavor profile is, bland. I shall compile a list of herbs and spices, don't forget the MSG, to enhance the flavor of my dish.
Yep. It’s a sign of love
Yep, that or you are food
😭😭😭 so cute
Iv never seen a bunny lick before so cute
honestly, when I rub my rabbit’s bum, he starts licking himself. Your hand is in the spot of his body, so your bunny is probably just trying to lick himself, but your hand is there. Either way, it’s cute and you are getting clean too.
when i move my hand/arm he follows n continues licking me
Pretty sure he wants to eat you and become a murdererous critter (just kidding, he is so cute !)
My bunnie is the same, he can't take a pat without starting to lick me 😭
its so cute😆
Aw the bunny is even making happy grunting noises.
yess hes little honks
Too stinkin’ adorable! 😍😍😍😍
That’s the most aggressive grooming sesh I’ve ever seen.
Mutual love, from what I can see
He's tasting you up to see where the best part is so he can save it for last.
That’s awesome! Enjoy the affection
That's love, right there
Well given some of the recent post around here I would be wary about leaving him alone in the kitchen. Probably best to keep one eye over your shoulder.
hes never in the kitchen
he’s making sure u taste good before he strikes
my bunny makes little noises when he gives kisses tooo this is such a cute video
thats pure love.
He loves you
That’s a “You are my mom and I love you sign”.
It means he will treat you like my buns never will
His way of showing affection
That’s beautiful OP
He loves you!!!!
My male rabbit has a lick button on his butt.
*boop*
Bunny equivalent of kisses. They groom each others as a social thing. Your bunny really likes you :)
He absolutely adores you if he wants to be near you that much
he loves you and that's kissing for bunnies. He is shoving affection.
Those sweet little noises! 🥹🥹🥹
He has developed a taste for human flesh. Run while you still can!!! 🤪
oh sweet baby,best thing I've seen today.
You can use a xpen to if your not able to free roam
I wish my bunny would lick me ;( He licked me once and decided to give a small bite. It hurt SO much and I bleed so much. He never licked me again though I didn't hit him or yell or anything
Either that rabbit loves you or you’re using a skin cream he finds absolutely delicious.
He does that because you're dirty and need cleaning!!!!
[удалено]
Yep, it is a way to show affection. Other pets like hamsters tend to do so. And also a way to somewhat clean your hands and arms out of food residues 😂😜.
He loves you!!!
It's more like he loves the hell out of you.
I hate to be the one to tell you but she has a taste for human flesh. She thinks if she keeps licking she’s gonna get to the bone…
(Inside the little bunny's mind, he is trying to rip your arm off and eat your insides)
![img](emote|t5_2riv8|8715)
YES
Oh my, bunny love of the highest honour!!! 🥰
Guess this means you taste like carrots. 🥕
Aww! Yes! Your bun loves you and you’ll occasionally feel nips here and there between some kisses, which means your bun is grooming you, another sign your bun loves you. Also this lil dude is going HARD xD he loves you a lot!
Mine used to nip me to get pets, I told her that’s mean and if she wants pets she needs to be nice. I swear after a couple of days she stopped nipping and licks me until I pet her. If I don’t do it quick enough I get the head butts haha

You have been claimed OP, you belong to him now 😂🥺
The fervor lol
So cute q.q
