  Cornelius "the old bunny" (who actually isn’t that old according to the vet – he just acts that way!), has a new habit of running in circles around my legs EVERY time he sees me. Corny is in my bedroom so generally during the work week he doesn’t see me for a good chunk of the day, but he recently has started doing circles even if I am in in/out ten times a day. It’s very cute but I wonder if he’s getting dizzy! Attached is a new pic of him giving "travel teddy’ the stink eye.

  I believe that running in circles around your legs is just him showing you how
  happy he is to see you!

  According to the “Language of Lagomorphs” he is in love with you. Babette does this to me, and when he stops, I run circles around him!

  He’s definitely an attention seeker then, as he’ll run circles around anyone (maid, my Dad, various friends)! Actually that makes me think about my other bun Ferdinand, who is very choosy about who he is friends with … I’ll start a new thread!

  my un-neutered boy bunnies when i was a kid always did that to us. we always worried about tripping over them!!
  yes it is a sign of love, but can also be part of a mating ritual i believe.
