  Starting last week my bun has been hopping up and down off my bed nonstop and just chilling which is totally fine by me, but I notice he is always licking the sheets, pillows, duvet, and such. Is that weird?

  My bunnies do it too! Out of nowhere, they’ll just start licking the floor, or the couch, lol 😆 I’ve heard that it can be of the unique smell or the strange taste, that makes them lick the sofa.

  It’s not weird (if you are a bunny). It’s a social grooming behavior. Many buns start by licking furniture and pillows before they venture to lick their human. I think Louie could be building up to that. It’s very friendly. I had a bun who liked to lick his crinkly tunnel. Some buns meticulously groom their stuffy toys.

  yeah, Dorian is a licker… his bedding and stuffed toys will get soggy from the love. I get soggy from him licking at times. I do tend to redirect it when it’s my pillows though as I prefer them not soggy!
