Rabbits have their own way of talking to you.  It's called body language, and the more you get to know us, the more versed you will become in our language. For instance, when I circle around my mom's legs and follow her everywhere, it means either that I'm hungry and want to be fed, I'm not hungry but I'd really like another treat, or I need some attention.   Usually, it means, "Hey, you. Get down here at my level and love me (scratch my ears, rub my cheeks, hug me and kiss me)." Rabbits can purr, sort of.   Did you know that?  When I get up into my mom's lap, lay down, and she pets me or scratches my head, it really gets my motor running.   I just kind of mellow out and turn into a puddle of jello, and my mom gets kind of a body massage on her legs because I vibrate with total and complete contentment. When I stand up on my hind legs and look around or sniff the air (and I'm not directly in front of my mom, which means that I'm begging for a treat), it means that something interesting is going on around me and I want to check it out. My mom calls this my Miss Curiosity Stance. If my mom is brushing me or scratching my head and I start licking her hand or arm, it's ... you know, like, the highest compliment from a rabbit because it means that they accept you into their world, and they're treating you like an equal.  It means, "Thank you for grooming me.   I'll groom you back because we're family, and we take care of each other."

If I turn my back on my mom or anyone else, it means "Do not disturb!"
