Was he courting me?

[EileenH]

OK, this will sound really weird...
Tonight, I had Gulliver running around the house. He usually follows me around, and I'll periodically lean down and he comes over & give me kisses.

Instead, tonight he started rubbing his face on my head from side to side, very sweetly. I can't describe it other than it was almost like dancing, rabbit style. He did this for quite a few minutes.
Am I crazy?

And again, sorry if this sounds really weird...

And yes, he was neutered about 2 months ago.

With his chin?

 

[EileenH]

Yes, and the side of his face.

Weird?

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Nope, it's very common. If you watch - he'll do this with anything he particularly likes or wants to make sure everyone knows is his!

He's got a scent gland under his chin. It's a great thing that this scent gland doesn't smell like the others! :shock:Here's a recent thread where we discuss it.

I was just reading that thread and realized I double posted, as it sounds like the same thing.

Wow, that is pretty cool. I knew he was a happy boy, but I feel so good that he is that happy:>)
It was just one of those strange moments when you know something is happening.

And thanks for not making me feel weird!

He's claiming you as his :biggrin2:

in other words, he loves you.

 

[Bo B Bunny]

Oh, we've all been there - learning about our loving little furballs! When I first go my Bo, he was just a baby and I thought he was having seizures..... he was just flopping on his blankie. He was happy and going to sleep LOL!

I've still been learning and I've had Bo for 3 years and have 2 more!

And yes, he loves you! Has he circled you at all? They still can do that when they've been neutered and it's a mating dance sort of thing.

Angel will do this to me when I stick my finger in her cage the minute I get home from work. Side of her face, each side, kinda quickly too from side to side. Means she loves me and she's telling me so. Same with Gulliver. Too cute, isn't it?

I admire it:inlove:. Makes me feel loved by her.

 

[EileenH]

Too cute for sure! It really made me so happy, thathe is so happy.:rabbithop
