        This might seem like an odd question but it’s something I’ve been wondering about for a while. If I am simply sitting on my bed he will often pause what he is doing and stare at me  for several minutes, he will do this at intervals until I move. He tends to do this in the morning or the afternoon (IE. When most active), other times of the day he couldn’t care less what I am doing. This happens after I’ve given him food so I don’t think he is after that. 

        Does anyone else’s rabbit stare at them like this? And what does it mean? Is it a form of communication/companionship? Just curiosity? etc.

          Mine stare. I think sometimes they stare just to stare, but it can be curiosity.

            Bunnies are prey animals and usually don’t live to long in the wild because of predators.  My guess is your bunny is treating you as if you are another bunny.  Your job, as a bunny, along with your real life bunny, is to be on the look out for predators.  I’d guess your bunny is therefore staring at you so to be immediately warned if you see and react to a predator.
