Sir Binksalot
New Member
Hi! I am a proud new mother to a 2/3 month old Holland Lop whom Ive named Bink aka Sir Binksalot. He is an adorable bunny who loves sitting on laps for pets, and doesn't mind being picked up so long as he has had a few pets before hand.
I love this little guy for bits, and Ive only had him for a week (come Sunday) but in the time Ive had him Ive noticed he is obsessed with nibbling and pulling on my clothes. I've read quite a bit about this behavior but it still baffles me. I've tried squealing and jumping a bit when he does it but he just stops for a second and then goes right back to nibbling and pulling until he is content.
I find the behavior cute but he tends to catch my skin unless I watch him and keep the areas he is chewing on away from me. I read that perhaps he is trying to get me to move but when I move over he will follow me to keep nibbling. If I stand up and walk to the other side of the pen sometimes he follows me just to nibble at the bottom of my pants or skirts. Plus if im right outside of the pen he will stick his face through the bars just to try to nibble my pants
Yesterday he was so attracted to my skirt I just left it in his pen with him to watch his behavior. He nibbled, pulled and dug at it for quite a while!
Could anyone help explain this behavior, as well ways to keep him from doing it? Does anyone think he will stop/slow down once he has been neutered?
