Grooming

[FreddysMom]

okay...so im still very new to all this, and Idont exactly know when to say if the bunny is grooming orbiting....when freddy n vicky are together..he would start licking herand then what would seem to be biting her...but she didnt move away asif he were hurting her...they would still be separated anyway...so thenyesterday we had them together again and she was grooming him andstarted doing the same thing..she was really digging her face into hisfur..but he just stayed there all flopped over....so what actuallycounts as grooming and asbiting? i've been trying to get inall the reading i can on bonding b/c now with freddys neuter and aftertwo more weeks of waiting..i will be making an attempt at completelybonding them...they seem to do well together, they share food, lay downtogether and he only went crazy peeing the first day we brought herhome..

I think that if she is not jumping or pullingaway it isn't hurting her so it counts as grooming, if it hurt shewould let him no

Jeremy has learned the hard way that thenipping is part of the bunny grooming process. Stormy was grooming hishair the other day and she ended up nipping his hair.

Sounds fine to me as long as no one is being excessively nipped or hurt.

I agree with Tina. One of mine grooms the others like that. They only nip her when she is getting on their nerves.

Interesting....Homer has done this to Misty andhas even pulled hair a couple times...and she lets him. Goodto know its not a big deal...just a lil over zealous on the grooming Iguess!! He did this more at first...the last few timesthey've been together I haven't seen it at all.

When Pebbles is busy lickingme, she sometimes nips or tugsat my clothes. When she licks my face, she mightstart chewing on my hair but never pulls.
