Hi,
I need some help with my bunnie. she licks me all the time. shure its cute. But, why does she do it?

huh, that's odd. Usually when animals do that, they need salt. (They get salt from sweat) I don't know if bunnies need salt though. o.0 Search it on google. you might find somthing.

That's true, that usually works...I Think!

apparently when a bunny licks you it's because it's really good friends with you and it's showing it's affection.

Indeed, but it could be the salt thingy too. You can buy a saltstone and put it into the cage.
I have 2 rabbits, but at all only one uses this saltstone...

//Edit: do you have one rabbit only?

Yes only one. I will try the saltstone.

Well, then i could be that it thinks that you are one of the "pack" (no idea what it is in english for rabbits...). I see it all the time that my 2 rabbits are licking eachother too.

maybe your hands smell like carrots XD

Before getting a salt-lick, check the salt content of your rabbits' pellets (food). There's usually enough salt in there, and you don't want her to have too much, or she could get sick. It's a good idea to give apple slices as a sweet treat, because rabbits like sweets just as much as humans do

Also, if you plan on getting a second bunny, try getting a neutered male. Females tend to be territorial with each other and may fight often. I tried to introduce a new female rabbit with Whisper, my doe (does are females, bucks are males, just like in deer). They fought and I had to seperate them. Whisper gets along much better with my buck, Willow.

If you do get a casterated buck, put her in HIS cage so they can meet each other; as I said before, females are territorial and may attack him if you put him in her cage. If they seem to get along fine, then they can be put in her cage together.
