        Ok first let me apologize in advance if I use a lot of Internet abrieviations seeing as im on my break at school on my iPhone.

        Anyway bunjamin has a new behavior. He learned to jump on me and the bfs bed which I’m really bad with judging distance and thought it was 4 ft tall when it’s really closer to 3 ft. Anyway he gets up there and If I’m not petting him, he licks the comforter constantly. I have no clue why he’s doing it. He’s not a big licker. And he hasn’t licked the bed at my parents comforter. He’ll stop if I pet him and I tried to see if he wanted to groom me and I put my hand under his chin (I know risky move) but he just stops and as soon as I move my hand he starts again. I’m not really upset with this behavior but more confused. Anyone have any ideas what my silly bun might be thinking?

          It’s actually not that weird. A lot of buns lick different fabrics or surfaces. No one is really sure why they do it, but I read on http://language.rabbitspeak.com/ that some buns won’t directly groom you but will groom objects next to you or that are connected with you to show that they love you. So I’d guess that’s probably what Bunjamin is doing.

          My bun is a huge licker; she licks me (hands, feet, face!), and also any of my clothes that are on the floor, or my shoes! So funny.

            Heheh, it looks like he is showing his love for you indirectly

            Yesterday, I wore a jacket and I laid next to Chacha bun. She got curious, came over, and started licking it like crazy, hahaha!

              Zeus licks my futon while he’s curled up on it quite often.  He only does it when I’m sitting with him, so I’m guessing it’s the whole “indirect grooming/showing affection” theory.

                  Moose is a licker. He’ll lick the carpet, clothing (never skin though, or other bunnies lol), the walls, his pen, his litter box, his bear, the windows, the furniture… the list goes on and on. I think he licked the subwoofer to the surround sound once. Weirdo.

                  Bunnies are just weird
