I would say you only need to worry if it turns into the rabbit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail

Re: My bunny licks me, is this normal?

Hi ive got a dutch lemon bunny who is now about 5 years old and she loves to lick you, hands nose , eyes anything salty we give her a salt wheel to lick they last ages , that is unless its damp like it is in the winter and then they can crumble . Bunnies will also grind there teeth as if they are chewing something this is the equivalent to a cat purring .

Re: My bunny licks me, is this normal?

Mine nips me if I annoy him but doesn't actually bite, he is a lovely little guy, so much fun and very sociable. Whenever we are out in the garden with him he runs around and lies down near to us. He really seems to enjoy human company and loves my little 3 year old nephew.

Re: My bunny licks me, is this normal?

My first rabbit had a litter then looked after our guineapig (they were put together in the pet shop as he was the last of his litter mates and she had just had her last kit sold) it was back in the day when putting rabbits with guineapigs was considered a really good idea lol. And because of this she was really motherly and used to clean me all the time . My second rabbit died young and was a nipper and didnt lick me :/. Rini who I have now, used to clean me loads but when she got spayed her personality totally changed and she became more nervous and territorial. Occasionally I will get a little lick now and again XD she's more likely to nudge you out of the way with her nose XD.

The other day I was a little worried as I was lying on the floor and she jumped over to me and started licking around my eye/eyebrow (and she is known to sometimes nip) lmao XD
