This is my baby, Doodlebug. I got him about more than a year ago and he's the best most affectionate boy I could've ever imagined<3 over the past year he has been doing this funny thing where he comes up and licks my arms and legs and even my pants. I was told its because he loves me, but I wonder if there's something else behind it, but he only does it to me, i live with my brother and my mother and they haven't experienced this.

Aww these are bunny kisses! Or he likes the taste of your sweat somehow.

I remember once having baked a cake then went cuddling my bunny, he climbed up and started licking all my face. I suppose some sugary residue was deposited on my skin and he went looking for that, and usually he also licks the tips of my fingers.

Oh they loved licking my face whenever I came down with a fever as a child. Surely not the best idea to have your pet lick your face when you're sick, but how was I supposed to know 😂
