  I don’t have a problem with him licking everything, I mean, its better than tearing things apart and destroying the house. But if he isn’t occupied by me, another animal, toys, or treats, he’s licking my sheets, the carpet, my furniture, his cage, anything. I just wonder if he’s lacking something nutritionally or if this is normal…

  Luna was like that when she was a baby, actually!
  She does it sometimes still, but less than she used to. I think I asked the same question as you, and everyone said it’s not a problem, just a bit weird, haha!
  Luna is perfectly healthy and always has been.

  Mine does the same thing, and he never stopped. He licks us, the sofa and my jeans, but not my other pair of pants. I like that but when we have visitors they thinks its weird to see the rabbit alone liking the sofa.
  
  Maybe watch if he doesn’t eat too much lints from what he licks. Somethimes I see mine eating lints he founds when liking.

  My boy has only just started to lick – my comforter? Yep, weird! I hate dog’s that lick me and my dog’s don’t (I must have taught them? I really hate it!). But for Henry’s little tongue and the fact I’m taking it as affection (he’s not affectionate), so I’m not knocking it back. LOL!
  
  PS – My hubby (Spanish) often jokes about ‘tasting’ Henry – I can’t wait for the day that Henry starts ‘tasting’ (licking) him!!!!!! Ha ha ha ha……

  I read somewhere that it’s a sign of affection, sometimes bunnies don’t like the way our skin tastes so they lick other things with our scent to show affection. My bun will spend so much of his floor time “cleaning” my sheets

  Yep! Licking/grooming is affection. I just hate admitting that Henry licking my comforter isn’t all about ME – I’m sure my comforter smells of dog! DAM! Missed out again. Henry doesn’t know this yet – but he’s gonna love me…. one day! Sigh….

  Powder used to lick my sheets and pillow. I would wake up to bunny tongue scraping my pillow and when I rolled over to tell him to stop, soaked pillow to the face. *sigh*
