Petting

[kimijean]

Piper totally flattens herself and really gets into it when I pet her face (up and down between her eyes) as well as full body. Cocoa seems to really like both face and full body petting but he doesn't flatten himself.

I only brought Caramel home 6 days ago, so I've just been giving him time to get used to everyone/everything. Cleaning his pen, giving him fresh food and water, and just sitting close to his pen and talking to him. Each time I would clean his pen I would let him smell me and pet him just a bit, and over time it became obvious that he was beginning to relax a bit.

Well for the first time as I was doing some spot cleaning of his pen this evening he kept smelling and following my hand. So I started to pet him and he really seemed to like it. He even flattened himself. Then when I would stop he would follow my hand and press his head against it wanting more.

Shiny Things will come over to me and beg me to pet her and give me kisses.

Piper has loved being pet from day one and Cocoa came around a bit faster then Caramel has. But this morning when I was cleaning Caramel's pen he was licking my leg.

aww that sounds like charmmy she will do that dog thing where she will shove her face under your hand and in no uncertain terms tell you it is time for petting

So 1 of my mini rex's Luna will put her ears back and gets almost mad if you don't pet her ears but Aria gets mad if you do!

Ah the life of a bun.

Gazzles will come up and head-butt my hand like she's demanding pets, but as soon as I try to pet her, she runs away.
