        Lilly does this all the time to my bf.. she will go nudge his legs or feet when he is on the computer.. and she will sit there and keep doing it!  But as soon as he goes down to give her some petting, she runs away??  Why does she run away.. doesn’t she want the affection?  Otherwise, why would she nudge him?!

          LOL. Sophie does this ALL THE TIME too. I will be on the phone with my mom and she will nudge my legs or my feet. My mom says that’s it is just like a small child! Wait till Mommy gets on the phone and then you have to ask a hundred questions because you want attention. It’s almost as if they’re like “hey, I’m here, what are you doing”, then they get the little attention they want and they run. They are trying to play with you. Do you chase your bunny around the house ever? Mine thinks it’s like Hide and Seek, it’s really funny when she’s running and starts binkying at the same time. Lillybear just wants attention and someone to play with!

              Carrera does this to my husband a lot. She does it for attention but I really think she thinks its funny when he reaches down to pet her and she runs away. She is the one with the biggest sense of humor. She is always doing stuff to make us laugh.

                My bunnies do this all the time too – I think they are just giving a nudge to say hello, come play with me! When Kramer does it, he runs away, but never to far and waits for me to catch up and give him a pet, and then runs again! He is very nice to me by not running at top bunny speed, more of a quick hop, so that I don’t get to far behind.

                  my kids do it too. it makes me laugh, since it reminds me of someone tapping your shoulder and hiding.
                  i think it’s a “Hey – do you remember you have a rabbit and you should be giving me treats” kinda thing around here
