What does it means if my rabbit circles me around?

Question

my rabbit likes to circle me around when i let him out, what does that mean?

Answer 1

Un-neutered bucks(males) are more know for this and will also sometimes nip your leg or trousers too whilst doing this.

This is courtship and is often done around a doe when she is being offered to mate.

This shows your rabbit  is content with you too, but the behavior can be frustrating to the rabbit, it can also lead to spraying and unwanted messing outside the litter box making hard to litter train your rabbit so it is best to get your rabbit neutered.

Answer 2

If it is not fixed and getting close to 6 months of age it may be feeling the need to mate.  My female minilop did this in the 2-3 weeks before I got her spayed and it has not happened since.  I read on a webpage this can also mean it's happy, so if it doesn't fit the criteria for the mating explaination it could just be excited and want to play or chase you.  It's not a problem in terms of the rabbits health so don't worry, though I was a little weirded out that my rabbit though I was good mating material.

Answer 3

It means he likes you and he knows that you belong to him.  :-)

Answer 4

It could mean he simply wants to play with you - or wants more attention from you. He loves being with you. Don't worry, I'm pretty sure it isn't stalking you.... = )

Answer 5

It's a mating thing. You should get him neutered.

It's just something that males do because they are of the age...my rabbit does it all the time, sometimes I end up stepping on him by accident xD
