  When I am lying down my bun Winter will jump onto my chest. She will start to dig at my shirt to get it to a kind of point then she will do a biting motion. I can not figure out if she is actually biting me or not since she has no incisors. Winter seems happy enough and if I push her off she will act offened. I have not been on this site long but yall seem to know everything and have experienced everything with your buns. So what on earth is she doing to my shirt?

  this is a favorite pastime of bunnies. it satisfies their instincts to burrow & arrange stuff, i think. wesley does this to blankets, pillows, clothing, carpet, and occasionally people. it sounds like she might do some damage to your shirt if she had incisors though, lol. wesley is perfectly capable of tearing up carpet fibers, ripping holes in material, etc. when he thinks that is the way it should be….

  Thanks I was wondering what she was up to. I am so grateful sometimes that her little furry butt doesn’t have incisors otherwise I wouldn’t have any cloths. All it does is tickle and give me a good laugh.

  Powder scratches up the blankets before he lays down like a dog, Stickers will dig my clothes until I stop her no matter where they are. Just normal bunny behavior. Just be careful to keep her claws trimmer or they can do real damage with those

  Hannah loves to dig and nip at my clothes. Typical bunny behavior, definitely.
