My rabbits obssesed with stuffed toy?

Question

my dwarf rabbit has this stuffed mini tiger from the zoo complete with whiskers. She's constantly grooming it though. Is this normal. Does she think that's it a rabbit or something?

Answer 1

It is perfectly normal.  My bunny had a stuffed animal puppy that he would groom and lean on to sleep.

Answer 2

It sounds perfectly normal. Be glad it is a stuffed toy and not you that the bunny is obsessed with. One of my older ferrets has decided that she must groom me on a regular basis. I can not go to bed without her coming up to me and grooming my arms, then curling up next to me to fall asleep. It's very cute, but while grooming me she will often pull the hairs on my arm - ouchie.

Answer 3

your rabbit could very well think the stuffed toy is another rabbit. my rabbit used to hump a stuffed rabbit (sorry it's gross but it's true!). bunnies are social animals. my rabbit thought i was another rabbit and would constantly groom me. as long as your bunny isn't getting hairballs from grooming the stuffed toy i wouldn't worry. but anytime you have a question about your pet don't ask strangers, ask the vet. better safe than sorry :)
