Bunny Licks

Question
In my experience, it seems to me that lop-eared rabbits are more affectionate -- they are the only ones who ever ever licked my hands.  Is there anything to this?

Answer
Hi Dawn

Well I have never heard this.  I personally have straight eared bunnies who lick my hands.  Every bunny is different.  I think you just got lop-eared kind that loved you.  If you have holland lops or fuzzy lops (very small about 4 pounds) they tend to be more affectionate and friendly anyway.  Its a good point to ponder but I think it has more to do with how you treat them than the kind of ears they have.

Thank you for the question, you made me smile.
