  My rabbit would often lick my legs if I am not petting her, especially when I am playing computer games.
  
  Does your rabbit do something similar too? It’s cute and funny.

  Aw cute! They’re grooming you. : )
  A vet once told me when they do things like this with their mouth, it releases endorphins. You see with bonded pairs the one grooming often looks as content as the one being groomed.
  So your rabbit is probably getting a good feeling doing this. And perhaps it likes the taste of your skin. :p
