Does my bunny love me or is she telling me to take a shower?

I'm sitting here with my angora bunny perched on my shoulder and she is furiously licking my neck, cheek, and lips.

Is this bonding behavior or is she telling me I'm dirty? LOL

I sometimes wonder too, if I'm being groomed cause I taste yummy and salty, or because my rabbits actually like me :?

Hey, enjoy the licks! My buns clean the floor next to me furiously when I'm petting them and I seriously doubt its tasty or dirty...

It means much the same in rabbits as it does in dogs. She's grooming you, which is a sign of affection. Enjoy it - while both of the rabbits I've had were and are kissers, many aren't.

She's the first rabbit I've had that is a licker so it surprised me. I've had lots of rabbits over the years because I was breeding angoras for a while and I think I've only ever been licked twice before now and those times were both a lick here or there and nothing further. It is an interesting experience. It feels sort of like a cat tongue
