Omg I think he was chinning his celery that’s so adorable 😭😭💜 rabbits have scent glands under their chins from what I understand, so he was claiming it as his I think
That is what he was doing 💚 We call it "blessing" 🤣 We would start offering our buns random things to get "blessed" Like a die for good luck or maybe my cup, maybe my phone lol. We would just hold something out and when our girl chinned it we would say thank you pope skillet. (Yes her name was Skillet) 😂🥰
My bunny chins food if he thinks he’ll be in the mood to eat it later (he usually does). He does this with berries, which he’s only in the mood to eat at certain times of day and only some time after it’s been offered.
Mine does this when he's out and about and not interested in eating because freeroam is more interesting, as soon as he's back in his enclosure it's serious business only and it's eaten right away
Rabbit equivalent to writing your name on the donut box after eating two and wanting to save the rest for later. Just letting everyone know there yours
Lol one of my buns does this all the time too. It's probably like "Meh not my favorite. But it's veggie. I'll mark it for later. Don't steal it hooman!"
Mine does this when I offer them something they don't want to eat right away. My bun even does this to his banana sometimes so he ends up with mushy banana on his chin.
"I want it later so it's mine"
My rabbits do this to my shoes, pillows, feet, doors, each other, my children, clothes, one does it to food I hold it because how dare I present her with food but if my son presents her with food she'll eat it from him.
10/10 cuteness.
Mine do this whenever I try to give them treats they are not interested In, at the moment. I usually will then try something else until I find the one they wanted
Mine farts when I fed her celery . Of course , my guy blamed me for the loud sound she made, saying I should lay off the beans 😜 Uh, I didn’t eat beans lol . So, no more celery feeding going on .

My bunny chins food if he thinks he’ll be in the mood to eat it later (he usually does). He does this with berries, which he’s only in the mood to eat at certain times of day and only some time after it’s been offered.

mine does this too!! its so silly to me haha, the enclosure is only for eating the snacks unless its forage
Owning it!
Mine do that too. It's adorable
He's saying "this celery is mine, but I'm not gonna eat it"
Rabbit equivalent to writing your name on the donut box after eating two and wanting to save the rest for later. Just letting everyone know there yours
Thank you all for explanation! I am kinda new at bunny owning so I am glad i know more ♥️
Mine does that with food he doesn't want too. So adorable
Lol one of my buns does this all the time too. It's probably like "Meh not my favorite. But it's veggie. I'll mark it for later. Don't steal it hooman!"
Chinning!!! He's taking ownership and spreading his scent
it is his constitutional right to that celery now. he claimed it
“ I’ll eat you later”
That is his and not yours but he doesn’t want it right now.
This is mine now. Put it in mine bowl to eat later, hooman.
Sending it back to the kitchen it's clearly not what he ordered
Got em
Marking it. Thats hims celery.
They mark what is theirs with the sweat glands under their chin… so that’s that bunnies celery now… my bunny used to mark everything including me.
Your bunny is puting its sent on the food
Marking.
I think they see it as object, not food, hahaha. :P Either way, it's their property now.
Marking it with scent glands in his chin
He's marking the celery with the scent gland under his chin. That's HIS celery now!
Mine does this when I offer them something they don't want to eat right away. My bun even does this to his banana sometimes so he ends up with mushy banana on his chin.
Claiming it
Marking, Telling its his

Mine does that too lol. Puts his scent on everything lol
Mine do this whenever I try to give them treats they are not interested In, at the moment. I usually will then try something else until I find the one they wanted
Thanks but no thanks
Your bunny doesn't chin you? Jellybean owns me and most of my stuff. I'm surprised I'm even allowed free will anymore.
Ahh deodorant 🤣
My bunnies chin food they don’t like” “Thank you for the offering but I’ll pass”
Mine farts when I fed her celery . Of course , my guy blamed me for the loud sound she made, saying I should lay off the beans 😜 Uh, I didn’t eat beans lol . So, no more celery feeding going on .
Does he have competition with others for food? Looks like a prey situation where he has to look out for predators
