It really is cute but my poor robe can't have this. Cloths are always clean, no perfums or anything that would attract hi. He also grabs a hold of the clothes and pulls hard, again it's cute but why the digging and the pulling?

No he hasn't but I really don't think he's doing it because of the guy rabbit thing...
Just seems weird.

errrmmm, both my spayed female and neutered male do this...I think they're trying to get my attention to give them food!

My lot grab my clothes occasionally. I can't say I mind, they do it when they want attention from me.

Alice used to do this when she'd had enough of being cuddled, she was spayed...

I'd get him neutered anyway, as this will stop a lot of "naughty" behaviour before it starts and generally make him a calmer, happier rabbit. Digging and tugging may be due to boredom and/or wanting your attention, sp perhaps get a digging box for him?

Also, once he's neutered, a spayed female friend will go a long way to help with boredom / attention issues too.

Good luck!

I do have a feeling it's because he wants food. He does it I get up and he gets a treat and ha! learned behavior. I don't notice him doing it when he is full.
He has all the food he wants all the time but it's the extra goodies he wants...smart guys I tell ya!

They both do it, especially the male (neutered). I have bunny uniform now (semi chewed jumpers and jeans) that i wear when i'm playing with them.

My fluffy does it too. She (by the way i learnt that fluffy is a she finally!!!) is always at chewing something. when i give her treats, she goes totally crazy hopping up an down from my lap when i'm sitting on the floor and asking for more ... please please.... more! :lol: I don't think the pulling of the clothes is something associated with food. I think it's only a matter of instinct.
