  I don’t know why, but when I walk into Atti’s area (my computer desk happens to be there) Atti runs to my feet. I can’t wear shoes in my room for fear that if I step on his tootsies it would be terrible!!
  So when I sit here at my comp surfing or doing homework or playing games, lol, Atticus will randomly come up to my feet and start clawing/digging on them. It tickles so much, that I have to slide my feet away. He also bites at my socks and I’m so scared he’ll bite me! hah
  
  So is it a good or bad sign? Should I move my feet and make a high pitch sound? Or should I just move my feet and give him lovins?

  He’s askin’ for the lovin’s so you should pay attention to him and do so. My bun is EXTREMELY jealous that the computer takes so much time away from her pets that she looks for ways to destroy it – including finding her on my desk on the keyboard once.

  He wants you to move your feet. Silly bunny! You can try the high pitch sound and see if that keeps the nips away.

  Yep mine does that too when she wants me to move my feet. When I move them and she still does it then I know she’s after some pets and I try to take a few minutes and give her lovins. Usually she does this when I am working so it’s not something that I can just stop doing lol but I try to take some time out for bunny pets when she’s asking for them

  Coco has been known to jump ONTO the laptop keyboard.
  
  It is a sign that my nose rubbing has been sub-par and I need to step up my game…
  
  This isn’t “I’m trying to make love to your sexy feet?” is it?

  HAHA, Two totally different answer. Well, try one of them, and if one doesn’t work, try the other. You’ll find out soon enough what your bunny is really trying to say.

  Dora, my mini rex would do something very close. except we would gate off the hallway and keep the bathroom door open so she had a HUGE spot. When ever hubby would go in the bathroom she would charge and lunge and bite him like no tommorow mostly on the ankles. Was not a good experience with having a bunny with him for the first time we started to gate the bathroom off so she couldnt go in there anymore as it got to much. I think she jsut got angry we were not in there for her but ourselves heheh

  My bunny Martin does the exact same thing when I am getting dressed in the mornings, he really likes it when I’ve got nylons on, he scratches at them to get some pets, the unfortunate thing is I am usually standing on one foot trying to put shoes on, or some other akward position where I usually almost take a tumble trying to get away from him digging at my feet I think he just wants some pets!
