Baby bunbun help?

 Well as most know, I welcomed a 5 week old woolie into my family. Now is she a healthy eight week old and is growing like a weed, and I have found over these last few weeks, she has become obsessed with me. Like when she runs around on the floor, she comes looking for me and sits on my feet and when I walk she follows and I’m scaredI’ll accidentally kick her :/ she always gets excited when she sees me and stretches up on the bars of her cage. Well today she saw me and when I was sitting on the couch watching tv and she got her head and shoulders out of e cage and got stuck. Also, I’ll be petting her and she’ll lick me and then suddenly nip me. But it’s not aggression, so I think it’s a love bite, but sure does it hurt! Broke the skin twice! Well, my question is is this kind of bond she has for me normal? It’s sure cute how she likes to sit on my lap, so I’m not complaining! Lol

That sounds like she has sure bonded with you (and sounds adorable!). Some bunnies just get more attached to their humans than others. As for the biting, baby bunnies like to put stuff in their mouths and it’s common for them to bite. She’s not trying to hurt you, just testing things out. When she nips, pull your finger away and make a high-pitched yelp.

When Fiona would bite me, I’d screech lol. She stopped and then tried it with my husband and I told him to do the same thing. She doesn’t do it anymore… And your bunny sounds just like ,mine! She follows e around and loves when I wear long dresses… She comes and sits between my feet even more when I have a long dress on.

This is how my bun us with me. Very obsessive and intent on being with or near me no matter what. I’d much rather have a bond like this then a bun who wanted nothing to do with me

my little girl was like this when I first got her. It took her about a week to settle down and get comfortable around me but once she determined I wasn’t a threat she was a bit obsessive. I couldn’t even go to the bathroom without my little shadow (and I’ve accidentally kicked her more times than I can count because of this). She has calmed down with these behaviors after some time though which is good. She’s still attached but doesn’t feel the need to move from her favorite spot under the couch just because I get up to get a drink or something.
And like the others said, a loud yell will let her know that the biting isn’t okay. She thinks she is being affectionate so you just have show her it isn’t acceptable and she will find some other way to show her love for you.
