Maisie chinned...

[maherwoman]

Wow...this is the first time I've seen her doit! She just chinned a couple of the zip ties that I used toput her cage together. CUTE!!

I've read about different things rabbits do, but when you actually getto see them, I find it really exciting, and CUTE!! :lookaround

Here's a question: Is this somethingthat means her hormones are building (she's just over three monthsold)? Or is it just that I possibly didn't see it before?

Oh, that's too cute...

Yeah, it is so cute!!! When I bring my bunnyinto the house......he'll chin everything!!! It was so funny, the otherday, I was letting him run around, and he chinned the wall about 3times, then the base board, then a magazine!!!! It was so cute!!!

Can someone tell me exactly what chinningdoes? I know it's a territorial thing. Are theymarking it somehow; ie, next time they come around they will smell thatthey chinned it?

From what I read..they have scent glands ontheir chins..so they chin things to mark their scent..humans can'tsmell it..but they can.

 

[LuvaBun]

Yes, Nessa is right. They chin everything theywant to claim as their own, as they scent it with glands in their chin.My two actually chinned my budgie, much to his disgust

It's funny when you consider that Maisie chinned the zip ties in her cage...now those dang zip ties are hers! Lol...

I know, I know...she was marking her cage as hers...not the zipties. Just thought it was a funny thought..."MYzip ties!!"
