  Just want to know, my rabbit circles around my feet(he is neutered-just saying). He licks me on the face, and grooms me. What does your rabbit do?

  She cooks breakfast and lets me have the remote.
  
  No, seriously. She snuggles my slippers, kisses my feet and flops when I talk on the phone.

  HAHA RABBITPAM!!
  
  My rabbit used to honk and circle my feet. she did it when I was upset once and I knew that she was trying to cheer me up!
  
  Rabbits show their happiness by flopping. Mine does when she is not under a cover – totally vulnerable – showing her tum tum.
  
  She also kisses my face.

  Wish I could tell you. I am sure Momo hates me. She does like to chin our things now, and she will sometimes hop up on my husbands lap. Heck I think she almost tried to groom the dog the other day. Then he started to get upset because she was “picking on him” again. Nothing like watching a 55lb dog droop his ears back and slink off to the couch because the bunny is bothering him.

  LOL Pam & kralspace.
  Mine let me know in different ways. Harvey, by circling, nibbling, and “loving” on me. Jackie lets me know by doing bunny flops near me – she’s still my shy bun.

  Hahaha Pam and Kralspace!
  
  Huck lets me know by giving me nose bumps. Its usually just as she is running by, a quick little “Hi ma, love ya, k bye” kind of bump. Sometimes, if I stay up late at night, I get special cuddle time and my whole face gets a good grooming, as well as my elbows and knees. I dont understand why she likes elbows and knees so much.

  Wilbur will run around but come up and nudge me with her nose often, I think that’s good? She also flops on my back (it feels really cute), falls asleep in my lap and licks me.

  Domino grunted at me a lot. Nava likes to nudge me (like the move out of my way nudge, but she does it as if saying hi). She also enjoys sniffing me in the face, and she’s kissed me once before on the nose. It was the time I brought her inside after a day in her outside hutch (she prefers being inside while her sister liked being outside). She hopped on my bed and came up and licked my nose…. then started to chew on my pit bull who was sound asleep. Haha.

  Bunny love is a little mysterious around my house. Olive and Simon both have done the “nose-bonk” thing on my ankles (but I think that means more along the lines of, “Move over, you big human lunk,” as opposed to “Love you, mommy!”). Olive once licked/groomed my arm through a sweater, but I think she was just trying to see what it tasted like. She does leave me little gifts around the house, though . They are brown and round and resemble Coco Puffs. Just a few, here and there, when she jumps out of the litterbox. Wouldn’t want to spoil the human slave with too many presents, now.
  
  I know I love my rabbits, but I’m not quite sure they love me. They do lots of Bunny 500s and binkies when they’re in the mood, and I see lots of contented flops, and they absolutely adore hitting me up for bunny snacks, so I at least know they are well-taken care of and happy.

  Moomoo and Lulu hate me. That’s cool, I accept it and I will force them to cuddle once in a while anyway.
  
  Bamboo bites my legs if I am giving attention to Moomoo and Lulu while she is out of her cage. It’s like, she owns me.

  Powder will lay still and accept pets, kisses, nose rubs, ear rubs, etc for as long as I want to give them. He isn’t into giving affection, but he loves receiving it. I take that as a I love you, even though he’s just getting spoiled. lol
  
  Stickers … tolerates me and isn’t scared of me anymore and occasionally will even let me pet her. That is her way of showing love. She is a very skittish, hands off kind of rabbit.

  Lady gives me snuggles and kisses and Samson gives me bunny ‘tude and blatant back turns. One might think that means she hates me, but it just shows that she cares more because she has the passion to be mad at me

  @kralspace How do you get that yellow line on your forum answer with the cute quote or saying made by you?

  Pandorachik: The signature (that’s what it’s called lol) I think isn’t going to be working until after the the update. On any forum page scroll towards the top and you will see on the right hand side “forum preferences” in grey. Click on that, and then you will see “forum signature”. You can write in it, but you used to be able to put a picture in it, and I think that’s the part that’s not working yet. Hope that helps!
