• Grooming: This is perhaps the most obvious sign of bunny affection. When a bunny licks or grooms you, they are essentially saying, “I love you and consider you part of my family.”
• Nudging: A gentle nudge with their nose can be a request for attention, a sign of dominance, or simply an expression of affection.
• Circling: Bunnies sometimes circle your feet or hop around you in circles. This behavior is often a sign of excitement and happiness, and can also be a mating ritual, although it can happen between neutered and spayed bunnies as well.
• Flopping: A bunny who flops down on their side, completely relaxed, is a bunny who feels safe and secure. This is a huge compliment!
• Chinning: Bunnies have scent glands under their chins. When they rub their chin on you or your belongings, they are marking you as their territory and claiming you as their own.
• Binkies: A binky is a jump of joy! When a bunny binkies, they leap into the air, twist their body, and kick their feet. This is a clear sign of happiness and excitement.
• Following: A bunny who follows you around the house is showing that they enjoy your company and want to be near you.
• Licking: Similar to grooming, licking is a sign of affection and bonding. Some bunnies are more enthusiastic lickers than others!
