  Your bun is grooming you most likely. Either that or your jeans taste really yummy. Grooming is a sign that they love you. It is a display of affection. I would say that if your bun sits still for a pet then that is a sign that your attention is enjoyable. Often, my fella will softly grind his teeth. Sometimes I can feel it and sometimes I can just see his little nose wiggling side to side. This is bunny purring. It means they are happy with what you are doing. Just watch for signs that your bunny is nervous or tense. From what it sounds like to me, you bunny loves you.

  He’s probably grooming you 🙂
  
  And staying still for pets is a good thing. A bunny who doesn’t want to be petted with let you know, or just hop away. When they are really enjoying it, they smush their head down and sort of flatten out.
