  Since bringing Harley home from the bun sitters after my vacation he has turned into a psycho licking bunny! He had a small tendancy to do it before but it was every now and then but since he has been home he won’t stop licking everything! My pillow, the couch, my arms, my legs, my toes! He even tried licking Abbie while she was sleeping! She quickly got off the couch when she realized he was licking her.
  
  Anyhoo, I try and push him away but he just comes back half a second later and just licks! I have no idea how to stop him at this point lol

  Could this point to an underlining issue? Or do some buns just really enjoy licking things to feel texture?

  Maybe he just missed being home and is remarking all of his territory now? Lucy licks A LOT, but I wouldn’t put it quite at the psychos licking levels (she’s up there though). But it could just be for the texture like you said.

  Could be stress related.

  Yeah I was scared that maybe it was anxiety related. Due to the traveling and what not. Should I keep him in his pen until he settles down? He is still running around playing all over the place but when he is relaxing and lounging he is licking whatever is near him. The wall, ac vent, my pillow, legs ect.
