  My rabbit is very affectionate and usually gentle, but recently I’ve noticed that when I wear a fuzzy robe or blanket over my shoulders, she will start scratching my back or side as if she’s trying to make my chest cavity her new home. Is there a way to discourage this behavior? She’s never scratched me (post-spay) but i think she just doesn’t recognize bulk clothing as a part of me.

  The only way I know of is to remove the bunny from the spot, if you can’t distract her. My Bam sometimes does the same thing when my mother visits. She has to have an old fleece blanket around her, because he’ll bite holes in her clothes otherwise. He’s very determined.

  When you say scratching, do you mean digging? My little boy bun sometimes digs at my baggy pj bottoms, he also digs at fleece blankets and his sister’s butt when he wants her to move lol. He’s a little monster but I think digging at materials is just…normal bun behaviour.
