I've had my new wee mini lop Phoebe for about 3 weeks now, and she's settled in fantastically. She runs the house and has totally fallen in love with Nermal (who is one year old tomorrow!). She's been grooming Nermal quite a lot and he's so lazy that he's delighted to have someone washing him! But i've noticed that when she grooms Nermal then comes over to me to do the same thing, she isn't licking, which Nermal does all the time, she's kind of nipping? It doesn't seem aggressive though, and also doesn't seem hormonal - have had experience of that, and it's sort of frenzied - it just seems like she doesn't really know how to groom without biting!
Am I alone here? She's always very calm when she does it so I assume she doesn't just hate me, but I want to find out if there's any way I can teach her not to nip without discouraging her from trying to groom me altogether??? Help! I have sore arms!!!
