        Hey guys,

        So Theodore has a tendency to exhibit what is a very typical bunny behavior, but I never know quite how to respond. He will hop up to me, and nudge me gently. Now, I can tell the difference between an “excuse me” nudge and this kind of nudge – the “excuse me” nudges are stronger, and then of course he hops past me once I move. But these nudges are softer, and even if I move he will nudge me again or just stare at me. I wondered if he was asking for pets, but whenever I respond by petting him, he either avoids it and hops away, or he binkies and then hops away. I’m wondering if maybe these nudges are just purely to get my attention? Anyone had this before?

        Thanks as always!

          Sounds like he is seeking attention. It’s like Stewie (Family Guy). Mom, mom, mom, ma, ma, ma, mama, mom, mom…. Then Lois finally screams What? and Stewie says Hi and then runs away all giddy.

            LBJ — that’s the ringtone I have on my phone for my son!!! You should see the odd looks I get when he calls me!

            FLR — they do sound like attention nudges. “Hey, I’m being cute and you’re not watching!”

              LBJ — Ahahahhaha, that sounds like the most accurate description!!

              JR — that must be it. He’s such a silly bun.
