This must be a bunny thing?
We had a large lop bunny who sadly died a few years ago. When you rubbed the ends of his ears between finger and thumb, he started washing his front paws. I thought it was just something Dylan did, but I've been rubbing our new bun's ears and they do exactly the same thing! It's comical to see, and they don't seem bothered about it, but as soon as I start rubbing the end of the ear, up goes the front paws and they start washing until I stop.
Anyone know why? And does anyone else's bunny do this?
