        Someone had made a post a while back about rabbit’s lick reflexes. I finally made a video of Dexter with his. He is extremely responsive to his reflex and goes on a licking frenzy. I have found Dennis’ lick reflex as well but he will only lick himself. Dexters ears and back are his trigger spots. Excuse the noise from the news in the background…

          Dexter is the bomb. He is a Bunny Bombshell. He even looks like one. I love everything about him. Supercute video! He even turns his head like a, pardon me, ‘flea-ridden’ dog when you scratch his ear!

              Hehehe Dexter is just awesome!

              I found with Smudge that if I pet her forehead, then put my fingers under her nose and touch her lips, she’ll proceed to lick me then Although last night during la time, she ran over to me on the floor, went up on her hind legs, sniffed my lips, then proceeded to give me tons of kisses on my lips She smelled like raisins hehe

                Mmm raisin kisses!

                Dexter is just a licker. He licks everything. Blankets, the floor, the rub, tables, windows, the couch, everything. Just licks and licks!

                        OH, how cute  I know Smudgie was licking my legs

                        Chacha only kisses me on the lips. She won’t kiss her 2nd slave on the lips. And won’t even kiss my dad (she doesn’t know him too well).

                        Parsley kisses are fun. Parsley is a natural breath fresher

                        Dexter is hilarous! Do all bunnies have lick reflexes?

                            I am not sure about all bunnies but some have stronger responses. Dexter’s is huge! I can trigger Dennis’ by scratching just the tips of his ears, but my other two have never shown theirs. I have tried on both of them and Davey looks like he is thinking about licking but just won’t succumb to it. Delilah does not have one that I have found. All of my bunnies will lick though. Davey and Delilah used to clean my face, now they will lick raisin goo or banana off my hands, Dennis is a rare licker, and Dex licks everything.

                              Oh! I just realized after reading that link, Koji does do this, he makes sort of eating motions mostly when I stroke his ears, and sometimes it graduates to licking the air like that. Definitely not as strong as your video, though! Your bun is so cute here, I actually laughed out loud.

                                  So cute! Dexter is awesomeness.

                                  Pacey licks if you just look at him he is a licker. Walter if you scratch under his chin or his chest he will lick non stop.

                                      Oh gosh, both Remy and Momo are lickers. It’s especially reliable when I scratch their BUTTS. I’ll be rubbing their heads (at the same time, because if I rub one, the other bounds over… it’s only fair), and if I move to their lower backs, the licking commences. On the rug. Delicious.

                                      Momo’s latest thing is that if I put my hand down to her when I’m on the couch, she licks my palm and fingers. This just started a few days ago! It feels so loving : P

                                        Dexter gets so ‘into’ his licking, he is on a cleaning mission even after I stop!

                                            Winston must lick when his bum is scratched!

                                            J has a theory that the buns lick the carpet to keep it clean and therefore to keep me from using the vacuum!

                                              That’s awesome! Otto has the lick reflex, but I still can’t find it on Hannah. I’ll have to try the ears next 🙂
