  Monty “flicks” his tongue around a noticable amount. Here’s a clip:
  
  I never really see my other bunnies do this. Anyone else have a tongue wiggling rabbit? Is he just a big weirdo or is it possibly a symptom of something? Maybe my other rabbits are weirdos for NOT tongue flicking?
  
  EDIT: This isn’t new behavior he’s done it since he moved in.

  My rabbit does this after drinking and sometimes eating or grooming himself, but I guess his tongue is much smaller haha
  I guess it’s normal unless Monty does it too often! (not trying to say its a symptom)

  I’m really not sure about that but want to add that it’s incredibly adorable. Maybe he just likes to keep his lips really clean?

  Haha, maybe so LPT!
  
  kcomstoc & Louis – Glad that you guys have seen similar stuff with your buns.
  
  I was looking through some video I’d taken during bonding and suddenly thought, “Maybe it means something” and figured BB was a good place to ask.

  Haha, I’m glad it’s normal. I must not notice my other rabbits doing it because they’re tongues are smaller! Monty does it without eating and drinking so I’m thinking there must be something to LPT’s theory of him just liking to keep his lips really clean. Lol!

  All my little ones do this. =] Skipper more so than the others. But Ian does this right after he is done eating his veggies. I think it’s the cutest thing ever. But that’s just because I love bunny tongues. ;P

  Mine do it after grooming, after eating, after drinking. Anytime their face might be a little dirty.
