        So don’t get me wrong, I’m over the moon that Banner is iicking me (tonight I said good night and “bunny kisses please” and he gave me a little kiss!), but he doesn’t just do a kiss and run.  He pretty much tries to lick anything and everything he can, repeatedly.  Is this just normal behavior, or something oddly obsessive about the boy?  I’m talking like 10 minute face and arm baths here!  And let’s not even get started on my left knee lol.  It seems like he’s grooming me, but since I’ve never had a baby before, or a boy, let alone an unneutered one, I’m just looking for some feedback.

          He is grooming you and things, some bunnies are more into it than others, especially single ones.

            My first little guy, Bunny, groomed me to no end. He was particularly concerned about my feet ! If I took my socks off, my feet were open season for him. I have had many rabbits since him and not one of them was/is even remotely interested in grooming my husband or myself and I suspect it’s because all the bunnies have each other and are not dependent upon the humans in the house for their mutual grooming satisfaction. I say sit back and enjoy !

              Haha, Banner sounds like my Peppy in licking habits. I swear she will give full body baths if I lay on the floor long enough! She also licks my pillows quite frequently…I like to think that it’s because it “tastes” like me, and that it just means she loves me. Dunno if it’s true, but it’s a nice thought . Sometimes she’s so obsessive about licking me, she’ll deny head rubs because she’s so busy grooming, lol. I guess it just depends on the bunny…Tammo was a moderate licker, and you’re lucky if you can get one or two licks out of Remi in a day!

                I was hoping that would be the consensus Merry sounds like your Remi… only she’s NEVER licked me LOL

                Well, time to go get my bunny love for the morning!

                  I get kisses on a daily basis. I put my face up to my bunny, and depending on if she is in a good mood, she’ll groom my face. She grooms my blanket also. She is hilarous

                  I always kiss her forehead before bed and she gives kisses back.

                    Does she spend particular attention on your eyes? I think that’s Banner’s favorite spot to groom.
