  Sienna my male rabbit will lick my shirt and shorts – but never my skin lol. Why is this? He also licks my blanket, pillows, and stuff.

  This can be because they’re too shy to groom you, or think your clothes are a part of you. He loves you!

  Try mushing a little bit of banana on part of your skin. Your bun might move from your clothes quick Dutchess likes to play in my clothes too and hide under my pant leg if it’s wide enough she’ll stick her whole head in.

  Henry does that too! I never gave it a second thought…. if he licks my clothes (especially while I am wearing them), I take that as he’s licking me – BONUS!
  
  Just watch out! My Henry has also taken to chewing my clothes while I’m sleeping (while wearing them!). I went to bed one night with a new night shirt and woke up with a suspicious hole?!?!?! in the morning.
  
  From memory, Henry has only licked my skin 3 times – I can’t help but wonder…. was he ‘tasting’ ME???
  
  LOL!

  Olivia does this too. Not sure why. She especially likes licking Yoga pants.

  Cash will lick my boyfriend’s arms and legs. Quite often. >.>
  
  I only get my shoes licked. Once a day. Before I leave for work.
  
  I feel so jipped when I see this, but Cash runs to me first for snuggles. I dunno, and I don’t ask. I think my rabbit might be slightly mental due to some of his antics.

  You all should be glad its just a lick! In the winter I change into sweatpants as soon as I get home from work. They have a wide flat elastic wasteband. If I sit, lay, or squat anywhere near Moshi, he runs over and snaps the wasteband!
