If your rabbit licks you that means they likeyou, like when they groom each other, it's called bunnykisses.:kiss:I'm not sure about the woodshavings thing thoughbut i can't imagine it would be very good for her.

Those are bunny kisses. Some rabbits just do itmore than others. Like my 5-month old bunny Devon, who will lick youuntil his tongue gets dry!

Oh yes, bunny kisses are a good thing.

We use shavings too and our rabbits occassionally eat them. Have had noproblems with that. Just make sure it's not cedar shavings.

If your rabbit is eating a lot of the shavings,switch to something else. Large amounts of any type of littercould cause intestinal blockages because they are hard todigest. If she's only nibbling a little, then it's okay.
