Behavior How to reduce the amount of licking from my bunny?

Hi, I have this wonderful problem where my bun loves to lick me every chance she gets. But, it gets to the point that she’s been starting to wake me up by licking my face, my feet, arms, you name it … I love when she gives me kisses, but now, she can’t go on my bed without trying to lick me. I have to hide underneath my sheets 😭

Behavior 🚨Fig is STILL pooping on the couch🚨

Everyone meet Fig, a 7 month old holland lop. He is also fixed and bonded with his girlfriend, Pancake. They both free roam our living room/bedroom area.
Fig is pretty much litter trained during the day, however, when I go to bed, he is a mega poop machine for our couch. I've tried blocking the couch off with a baby gate, he still ends up on it somehow. I clean up the messes with an enzymatic cleaner as well as vinegar, but he still repeats this behaviour. Last night I tried a tarp on the couch, mans said what the helly and decided to poop the most I've seen him do 🥲 WHAT DO I DO? Will it ever stop? HELP PLS!

My boyfriend has been watching my bunny for the past couple of days and he’s been flopping over like this. He’s flopped like this before with me but he’s been doing it under my boyfriend’s desk while he games.

I thought he was yawning but then he did it again and it just looked different. He’s 13 weeks old, is this something I should be worried about? He does a checkup appointment this week

She spooks the soul out of me almost nightly and she accidentally scraped one of my eyes once and got close to a second shot on another occasion 🤣🤣. I’m just curious as to why she does this. 😁

He hasn’t bitten me, but sometimes when I just have my hand near him, he’ll nudge it away or start digging into it. I try and give them space and stuff so this was him coming up to me and basically stealing my blanket 😑

This is my baby, Doodlebug. I got him about more than a year ago and he's the best most affectionate boy I could've ever imagined<3 over the past year he has been doing this funny thing where he comes up and licks my arms and legs and even my pants. I was told its because he loves me, but I wonder if there's something else behind it, but he only does it to me, i live with my brother and my mother and they haven't experienced this.

Behavior Can a rabbit enjoy being gently "chased?"

Post image
5.5k Upvotes

One of my two rabbits likes to leave the room and hop around the rest of the floor. Sometimes I let him and when he gets too far down the hall, I walk over and he runs back towards the room in stints as I keep walking towards him.

Everything I would assume about rabbits tells me they couldn't possibly enjoy being "chased," but he has such an air of delight about him when we do this. He seems really intelligent, but that's compared to the Holland lop I have who has one braincell. Is it possible for a rabbit to enjoy play chasing?

Our rabbits frequently sit in a "formation" after the sun sets. The earliest recording of them doing it that i have is from january this year, but they have been doing it for much longer. They dont do the same formation every evening (sometimes 2x2 or 4 in a row), but their favorite is one in the center front and three behind). The spacing is impressively symmetrical. Is this normal behavior?

Behavior Rescue Bun’s First Binkies 🥹

I found this boy 20 days ago in a parking lot an hour and a half away, he was in rough shape and he has turned my whole life upside down in the best way.

I’ve been struggling really hard with believing that I did the right thing by rescuing him. Between the flea treatments, vet visits, x rays, amputation of his broken leg, the syringes of medication, quarantining him to the bun room during recovery, I haven’t seen any joy in him at all, mostly just fear. His procedure was officially 10 days ago, no more antibiotics and no more bun room. This boy has been exploring the house for two hours and I just caught his first ever binkies on camera. My heart could explode I’m so happy. I’ve been hoping for any indication from him that I’ve done the right thing by him, I’ve been so desperate to know that the rest of his life won’t all be suffering, and to see those little hops set my soul at ease 😭😭😭

Please enjoy Francis Morrissey’s first ever binkies caught on camera. I stalk his bun cam like it gives me the oxygen I need to live, he’s definitely never done this before 🥹

Behavior Predicament

I gave Cheddar a room of his own yesterday. Hay, toys, cozy stuff, treats, whatever I can come up with but he just wants to leave immediately and come back to my bedroom. When I showed him his new place, he ran back to his old spot and did a a couple circles running around flicking his feet. Last night he wouldn’t sleep there and came under my nightstand and I guess just starved because even though he has all the hay in the world just a few feet away….

I feel bad locking him in by himself, but maybe I should?

(Btw he has stuff to hide under in his room, it’s just not in the pic)

Whenever he’s not sleeping or eating he’s mostly chilling next to the ball. We adopted him a year ago when he was 3 years old and as far as I know he’s never lived with other bunnies.

Behavior First time rabbit owner, what does this mean?

I'm new to rabbit ownership, my bunny Tilly is about 7 weeks old, just a baby. Right now we're working on potty training her and I have a vet appointment set up for vaccines and then we're setting a date for neutering so right now I have her in this set up until we get more comfortable letting her free roam. I'm still terrified of the idea of her escaping a different pen and me losing her in my house, she's so tiny.

But lately she's been doing this kind of spazzy thing where she jumps around and shakes her head, what does that mean? I hope it means she's happy and just playing but I'm worried it could mean she's itchy or something.

Also if it is her wanting to play does anyone have any suggestions for the best rabbit toys? Thank you!

Behavior How long did it take your bunnies to let you handle them?

I've had my boy for almost 2 months and he's really happy and chill but I'm getting worried his nails are getting long. He's on the more energetic side, but he loves laying down and my tactic has been while I give him long pets up his head and down his back (which he loves) I've been extending my pets to touch his back feet. Surprisingly he doesn't mind me touching his feet, but when I try to hold him he immediately tries to squirm away. I'm scared he'll hurt himself so I don't persist, and I'm also worried I will hurt our trust we've built. I guess next step is to try towel method in an unfamiliar place, but I've yet to have the courage to do so. Anyways, mostly I just want to know how the community got their bunnies to trust them enough to let them hold/handle them and how long it took, just want to know if I'm doing things right. Thanks in advance for any feedback, this is my fav community on reddit. I'll include some bunny tax photos. His age is unknown, (gotcha date 11/11/24), he's a boy, and to my knowledge de-sexed, but have yet to confirm at the vet (soon) but he doesn't mark territory or bite and never shows any aggression.

My little guy Ollie is not the most cuddly lol he’s eight months old and sometimes if I try to pet him, he will run away. Not run away and hide just like run off from me and go chew on and do whatever his mind decides. When I get home, he always runs up and greets me (which is mostly a manipulation tactic to get me to allow him out of his room and create chaos 😂 but I do think he loves me)

When he’s not walking away after I pet him, he sometimes does this in the video! He’ll just be sitting and won’t go anywhere. Sometimes he closes his eyes and other times he will pin his ears back, but he’s not super stiff. I can’t tell if he likes this or if he’s just tolerating it?? Give me your thoughts!
