        I’ve noticed that my little guy only circles my feet if i have long pants on. And if I’m wearing soft pajama pants he goes crazy and follows me everywhere! He will even hop up on the bed and mess with my pants. When he circles me when I wear them he will also love bite me. But he won’t circle me if I’m wearing shorts or I roll up the pants. Any idea why he would love these pants so much?

          He sounds hormonal. Maybe the long pants resemble a lovely lady bunny? Lol…

          I am guessing he’s not neutered yet? Sounds like he’s about ready…

              He must luuuuuuurve those pants. My bunny likes to pull off loose socks! Maybe that’s similar? I can’t tell you why he does it though.

                I don’t really know – my rabbit Bobby who is neutered and about 3 years old circles me too – he’ll run up and down the hall in the morning doing this – I think it’s part of the way they play and could be also part of the way they dodge the enemy.

                    He wants to start a family with your pants. My rabbit had the same plan for my dog. I had him (the rabbit) neutered. It has helped.

                      Our neutered boy loves to circle us. I think it’s a sign of affectionate play…..and he twitches his head, wanting us to engage in his “dance”…so we take steps toward him when he’s circling – and he jumps away trying to avoid us – while continuing his circling. It’s really cute! Then we pet him. He does this several times per day.

                      I’ve never seen our other bun do this.

                      But both buns like to scratch at long soft pants and socks.

                        Buster is neutered and does the same to me!
                        It’s mainly in the morning, when I just get out of bed. I think he’s like “THANK GOD YOU’RE ALIVE!” and is so happy. It’s also when I put pellets into his dish, so he freaks out and circles me. I’d say it’s a sign of love, whether they’re neutered or not.
                        He’s always nibbled on my long pants and socks – not matter how much I try to discipline him not to. Some say it’s love nibbles / for attention. He (usually) never fully bites though. He also does it if I have pants thrown over a chair / my bed. I think it’s just fun to play with, or something.

                          That’s what I assumed it was He is getting neutered though in a few days. He really likes both pairs of soft pajama pants I wear. It is cute though!
