Rabbit licking

Hey guys!!

I'm new to the forum and the bunny owning world!!

I got my first ever Rabbit about a month and a halfish ago and I've put a lot of effort into become close with her and trying to bond, I was siting in her play pen earlier and she started climbing on my legs, which usually she sniffs then decides not to, and then started licking my arm for a little while! Is that a Good sign? Or is it just something Rabbits do and it's nothing special??

I'm a bit of a Rabbit newbie aha !
 
She likes you and is comfortable around you.
Rabbits often groom each other, and she obviously wants to give you some affection too [emoji18]

Grooming is a brilliant sign! I've never been groomed, although my partner gets plagued all the time by the pest :D Congratulations on making a new friend!

Welcome Ross :wave:

How lovely! You seem to have a gentle way with her, and she appreciates it :)

There's a few clues here as to understanding your rabbit's language:

http://language.rabbitspeak.com

http://rabbit.org/interpreting-body-language-and-behavior/

http://rabbitresource.org/care-and-health/behavior/how-to-speak-rabbit/

.....much of the rest is a mystery to most of us :lol:
 
Ahh brilliant!! I was hoping it was a good sign!!
I'm glad all the effort I've put into bonding with her has made her feel good! :D
Thanks for the links max! I'll have a good read of them!

Cheers guys!
 
Hi! Being licked by a bunny is in my opinion the pinnacle of signs that your bunny is really happy with you. It is an honour to have this bestowed on you. Enjoy!
