        So maybe my bunny is trying to hint that I need a deep conditioning treatment on my hair or maybe he actually thinks it is hay but given the chance he actually eats my hair! Luckily I’ve always been able to stop him almost instantly but he did take me by surprise today when I was laid stroking him and half watching tv and he really got going on some loose strands of hair! Has anyone ever had this before?!

          My bun loves to sit on the back of the couch and play with my hair when it’s wet. She will usually leave it alone if it’s in a pony but she moves it and try’s to groom me if it’s down loose. Then again she also likes to groom my husbands head and she keeps his hair buzzed quite short

            Not weird at all. My girl does it all the time, Licorice has never had any interest. I don’t let her because there’s no way it’s good for the hair, and she’s stopped now. Not sure what method of reprimanding will work for your guy but I just distract her with something else. ^^

              Nala tries to nom on my hair all the time. I don’t really mind it too much until she actually starts pulling on it. It’s perfectly normal. I couldn’t tell you exactly why they do it, but it could be associated with their love to chew or possibly grooming.

                My Yohio used to wake me up in the mornings by chewing my hair! It was really effective, too.

                  Not really the same but my cat used to sit on the back of the sofa and groom me when my hair was freshly washed I loved it.

                    My bun also chews my hair when he’s grooming my face . I don’t let him since I don’t think is good for him to eat hair but maybe he is trying to give me a haircut, who knows?

                      The only time I’ve had a bunny chew my hair was when I used “Yes to Blueberries” shampoo.

                        You know I wonder if it’s rosemary Essential oil in my shampoo that my bun likes so much
