Why do bunnies...

[BrittsBunny]

twich their heads when they sniff your finger? I know this is so random and maybe even a little silly...but every time Wrangler comes up to smell me he twitches/shakes his head. Why do they do this?

I can't say I've noticed my bunns twitching their heads when they sniff my fingers. Come to think of it though they do it sometimes. Maybe us humans smell peculiar This should probably be in the nutrition/behavior section btw.

sounds like a binki,.??.my cottontail likes to do that(smell thing),but it is to find out what i ate,and did not share with him,.i have to be careful or lose a finger.,love this little guy,he has no idea how much money i have put into him(about a thousand,$$),sincerely james waller

Maybe it could be he has super sensitive whiskers? I'm not sure either, to be honest though.

i think falshy is right. eyore sniffs me and then he gets to close and twithes because his wiskhers hurt

 

[BSAR]

I think mine do it because they don't really like their noses to be touched.

I know what your saying. Lol. My buns always do that too. I wonder why they do-do that.

Thanks everyone for the replies!

That makes sense though...sensitive whiskers...but gee, I did not know they actually could hurt! Ouch! That's good to know!
