catherinee99 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 It is perfectly normal- she is grooming you. Be flattered- she sees you as a big rabbit. I had a houserabbit who regularly curled up beside me on the sofa and licked my hand or my towelling dressing gown was a favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 They do like to groom other animals and people, but does she have a salt lick in her cage? Buns need certain minerals in their diet and these mineral licks privide this, so does salty skin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethany Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 I never knew that rabbits licked before I got mine either, I had one as a little girl and she hardly ever licked but the two I have now do it constantly. They also scent mark me and my boyfriend with their chins too, especially to shoes for some reason. I've tried them with salt licks and they don't bother with them- they'd rather eat the plastic holder and throw it around their run. They do sometimes like mineral licks but it doesn't decrease the licking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickles Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 ah bless it means she loves you and is grooming you. my husband loves it when our guest rabbits lick him, usually the girls i think they fancy him. Our male house rabbit doesnt do it as much now as when he was a baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
