My bunny licks me, is this normal?
Hi folks, i have a 2 year old mini dwarf lop and he licks me a lot, is this normal behaviour for a bunny? He doesn't have any other bunnies around and we have had him since he is little, he has done it pretty much from when we got him. It happens whenever I pet him, he starts licking my hand, sometimes even preferring licking me to a carrot I am offering him!
Thanks! Steven x

It's certainly within the normal range for rabbit behaviour. Our dwarf lops only lick very occasionally, so I guess you must just be very tasty

Yes, this is normal. Some rabbits like to lick the salt off your hands, others will lick to "groom" you, especially when you are petting them. I like to think of it as a bunny way of saying, "I love you!".

Yeah he will often lick me when I am petting him so I had always assumed it was his way of grooming me / showing affection.

Hi,
He will be licking you to get the salt from your skin. I think you can get salt licks for rabbits. I use to get them for my goats.

Mine used to do that all the time. Now I got a rat that does it CONSTANTLY and a few others that do it too and a cat that just wont stop. It is the salt, but especially with my rat and cat its affection. And its the same with your cute bunny
