How does your bun like to show affection?

[OldBunter]

Henryk loves coming up to my SO and I and just giving us one or two little licks and then hopping away. Sometimes he’ll even do tiny nips or nudges out of affection. I’ve seen videos with rabbits wildly grooming their owners and read some rabbits don’t like licking their owners even though they love them. I was wondering how your rabbit likes to show love to their human?

We have lickers on our hands!!! Quincy loves to like your face- nose specifically. And Ophelia will lick us all over or she loves to do “nose boops” (Eskimo kisses) sometimes I’ll boop her nose with mine and pull my face away and she comes up to me and puts her nose back to mine I have some seriously sweet little bunnehs

Finn is a big licker and nudger. He also does what we I call a “bunny hug” where I wrap my arms around him and he puts his head on my shoulder. It’s more like im showing affection towards him but it’s adorable all the same ?

Boston head nudges my hand to lift it onto him, he is also a head rester – like a puppy will come place his head on my knee / lap or hand
He likes to be held like a baby too with his head resting over my shoulder.
He in a quiet shy kinda way ( shy but not shy) will pop into my arms for snuggles.
He is constantly seeking attention though – like a golden retriever puppy

I’m going to have to revisit this topic once my newly adopted buns move in with me, but I can already report that Fernando is the archetypal cuddlebun – he snuggled up to me everywhere he could at our adoption session Sunday and groomed me (licking and lightly nibbling) on both arm and leg. Panda, his mother, is an elegantly reserved and cautious young lady, who danced away from me on several occasions when I offered to pet her but then turned right back around and cuddled up against me and climbed onto my lap. She’s amiably inclined, but it’s going to take some work and a little time to win her trust and fully awaken her own love.

Buttercup boops my nose with hers if I put my face near her. Or she’ll come and lay right against me when I sit on the floor. Peanut just…let’s me pet him lol.

Winter licks, licks, and licks…. she also flops next to me.
Licorice is shy and aloof. He likes us, but he outwardly doesn’t show it — he accepts pets whenever he hasn’t got somewhere to be (eg. the kitchen). We’ve had him for over four years and he’s starting to flop. (He is not and never was uncomfortable. He’s a very happy bunny.)

Clem likes to force me to pet her while she’s eating. She gets to choose when she wants love. She also likes to nudge my hand and lay down next to me on the floor.

[Theo&Mickey]

Theo will lick my legs when I’m sitting on the floor and rest his head on my hip, cuddling into me with his head laying sideways lol, while I stroke him and give his cheekies a rub. He purrs. He also circles me. The more I talk to him lovingly, the more excited he gets.
