  When my bun pushes his nose under my hand and demands to be stroked I always oblige, but I’m not sure if he now thinks whenever he does this everyone has to stroke him! Including Vienna, the bunny I’m trying to bond him with. She doesn’t want to groom him, but she expresses her ‘not groomy wantingness’ by biting him. He still won’t give up though. Should I just not stroke him, it’s very hard to resist, or does it not affect that?

  He does like being stroked, I lay and stroked him only a couple of minutes ago and he did what I call the bunny sphinx ( where they lie down like a sphinx!) and tooth purred. He’s just so fluffy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  My bunny Bindi does this to me. He`s very demanding. I can be petting him for like an hour and it`s still not enough.
  
  It is sad when one bunny want grooms and the other doesn`t oblige. This happened when I was bonding Bindi and my Bridge Bun, Stormy. Bindi would groom Stormy and then ask but Stormy would never return grooms. I felt bad and usually pet Bindi when Stormy wouldn`t.
  
  Have you tried the banana trick to try to encourage grooming?
