Why is my bunny licking me??.......

[Kalei]

Yes I would say Salt(as Buttercup said) and affection. Because although I have salt on my skin too, my rabbit Kishii does not ever lick me and I believe its because she does not feel comfortable enough with me yet to lick me. It took my rabbit Baby a full year before she started licking me

Jupiter licks then presents his head for petting. He sometimes gets offended if you don't return the gesture. He wont touch salt licks. He'll lick any one even any friendly furry animal.

Bailee does the same thing,But then she starts to nibble!

thank you for your inputs....... now I´m more happy!!

the affection I looooove..... he´s so cute and has gotten bigger (I NEEEED to find a usb to share pics ) I just hope he doesn´t nibbles LOL......


the salt intake...... good response...... thanks....... I should get him a salt block, but unfortunately I´ve seen none anywhere here...... bunny stuff is reduced to almost only pellets...... you really are lucky if you find anything else (hay you can get but it´s "for horses", cages are way small for rabbits and rabbit cages are too ugly, made for having them recluded somewhere away from human contact, that´s why I haven´t bought one and he seems happy having a bathroom to call home hehe) is there anything i can do other than order online? a homemade salt block? (until i can go to USA and get a few stuff)

I need to get also a litter pan, so far i´ve been using a (recogedor)... the thing you use with a broom to pick up dust adn stuff......

Oslo sometimes licks too, but usually only when he's scared.

Well do people have horses or other livestock in the area? You could buy a bigger salt lick and just give him a chunk. sometimes they sell the mineralized salt in gradual form for goats and sheep but it's more expensive.

But really if he's eating pellets there should be enough salt in that already. They add it now to the pellets.
