How can you tell if ur rabbit wants attention or wants food?

This may sound a strange question, but is there any way you can tell wether your rabbit wants attention or wants food?
The reason is, everytime I go and see Dandi, she looks excited to see me as she runs downstairs into the run, does a lap around the run, comes back up again and bites the bars. This mostly happens if she sees food.
When I go to see her and I don't have food, she does a similar thing, but when I stroke her she eaither turns her head round or sniffs me in a way that to me suggests that she's looking for food. Once I've given her a stroke, she usually hops away too!
So does this mean that she wants a cuddle, or she wants food! What are the signs that a rabbit wants a cuddle and a stroke? I know they sometimes make a purring sound and lick you, but I don't think i've seen her do that!

Skye runs round like she's so excited and has never been fed in her life before when I approach to fill her food bowl up. She's always got lots of hay but she just loves the pellets!

Hi, someone posted this link in another thread, and I have found it really really useful. http://www.muridae.com/rabbits/rabbittalk.html
Me and Monty are getting on 1000x's better now I know what mood he is in.[/url]

Niamh runs into her cage and sits by her bowl whenever I walk past if she's hungry!!! She tends to live mainly off of hay and veg, so I only feed her pellets if she begs!!! :lol: If she wants attention she'll just nudge my leg and bow her head for a nose rub!

Treacle and fudge are always hungry so I ignore them as much as possible! :lol: They get very grumpy if I'm late with meals and will bite or start destroying everything!!! :shock:

and Splodge will just lick you to death if he wants attention!
