  Does anyone else’s bun do this? Waffle has this weird reflex in his ear. When I rub the inside, he’ll start licking his paw, wash his face, and then clean his ears… it’s cute though! I attached a video! But I’m also wondering if anyone knows whether rabbits have reflexes like humans.

  the ‘bunny button” on the back of their head between their ears.
  if you’re holding her against your chest with head resting over your shoulder. and you use your other hand to touch the button, they stiffen up and lean back. its like a standing up trance. this worked with all 3 of mine.

  Lolli has several lick response spots. Or that’s just her cover for giving me kisses. lol She has between her shoulder blades, above her tail, and her tummy. Sometimes her sides as well but that’s more hit or miss. She usually stops as soon as I quit petting whichever spot I’m at.
