  Lolli bumped me in the butt too once. LOL When I was at my apartment and sleeping on the floor, we’d do a mutual nose bump at night. And then there’s her “haha! you can’t catch me” game where she darts up, bumps my foot, then darts away, sometimes binkying. lol

  I just had my socked toes nibbled and then licked, but I think it was maybe just because they felt interesting lol

  Sometimes I try to see us from their perspective. I mean, imagine living with someone you love (probably. eventually.) who is appx. 20 times your size. Add to that the fact that they make all this noise with their mouths, and you don’t speak. (Except for a highly sophisticated form of telepathy that they can’t hear. and they don’t speak Bunny, either, even in their minds.) So, how would you communicate with them?
  
  Paws too small to hold a baseball bat to whack ’em with. Try bumps.

  Bindi’s a bumper. He will bump my backside if I’m sitting down facing away from him. He does not like being ignored. Stormy bumps and bites if I’m in the way. Instead of going around me, he wants me to move. Olivia just nudges.

  Huckleberry’s favorite form of communication is bumping. She has a couple of different bumps, each with different force and count. Ive worked out that most are for attention or food. Sometimes she wants to play, sometimes I am just in her way. Sometimes she is just stopping by to say “Hi Mom! Love ya!” Two days ago, I was running late for class but she pushed her nose hard into my ankle and then grabbed my pants leg and pulled a little. I sat back down and continued to scratch her ears, she put her head on my knee and relaxed. I felt bad that I had to leave because I could tell she was bummed out and wanted to be loved.
  She bumps Greg all the time too. He always goes “Hey bunney! What are you doin?” and then wiggles her ears back and forth.

  I love it when they come up and bump me with their nose! I just say “oh hello to you too, Miss Peppy/Mr. Milo!”. Usually they hop past, give me a few bumps, then keep hop off to the corner. I like to call them “doops”…kind of like a sound effect I guess. Haha It’s kind of stupid, but to me when they bump me twice with their nose it just seems like it should sound like “doopdoop”. Okay yea I’m silly .

  Oreo loves bumps! When she wants food or treats I get mutiple, really intense bumps I also get them if I am in the room but ignoring her too much (talking on the phone, on my computer, etc) as if to say “mom! pay attention to meeee” These are usually followed by demands for pets or her scurrying off to get up to some mischief. Or if she doesn’t like where I’m sitting in her room. It’s her way of saying “I’m not going to sit there so you can’t either” Like, I just got one now…time to move

  Cheddar loves to bump me two times and then hop past me. Yesterday, I was on the ground petting his forehead and cheeks and he started to lick my hand and arm. So sweet. Then he came up really close to my face and head bumped me twice on the nose.

  Ok the topic name made me think of the song “My Humps” by the Black Eyed Peas. You’re welcome for the bunny version you just made up on your head.
  
  Frankie is a bumper too. Mostly ankles, but other stuff if you’re at ground level. And he’ll shove his head under an unsuspecting hand for rubs (he did this to my dangling foot last night when I was sitting on a counter. It was hilarious).
  
  My cheeky little bastard loves to stick his fuzzy nose and whiskers in my “coin slot” when I’m squatted down in my house with my pants loosened too.
  I cannot explain how much that tickles!

  Still hate not being able to edit my posts on my phone. It is basically a computer too so it doesn’t make sense.

  Mine loves to do this too, especially if I’m squatting down to clean her condo.
