Do bunnies eat human hair?

[cak6631]

[sup][sub]Wehave had our mini-rex bunny (Hoss) for about 2 months now andhe persistantly chews our hair. Is this normal?? Wethought that he was grooming us but it seems like he is eatingit. I have read online more than once that you are to usehuman hair to deter rabbits from your garden. Do we just havean abnormal rabbit? Thanks!!

Mine will lick and nibble my hairsometimes. It is just grooming. They nibble a bitwhen they groom themselves and each other, too. It probablyhelps get some of the knots and dirt out.

Perfectly normal! :angel:

Bindy does nibble or play in our hair sometimes, however if I feel her chewing and pulling I stop her.

My little buck, Eli, has given me a new hair cut lately. But my other 2 don't eat hair.

Vash ate a bit of my hair one day afterI'd used some apple-scented conditioner. Guess he liked thesmell.
