What does it mean when your pet rabbit licks your hand?

My pet rabbit licks my han and arm whenever I pet him and say hi to him. Does anyone know if this is a good or friendly thing? He’s a nice calm rabbit so I’m assuming he doesn’t want to eat me or something. I’m just not sure if it means the same thing as when, say, dogs lick you.

your right it does not mean the same as when a dog licks you. most rabbits will lick you for the salt on your skin if the don’t have a salt block. or they are trying to groom you or you have food or perfume on you had that they like. if your rabbit doesn’t have a salt block i would buy him one.

My rabbit licks my hand, he does it to my mum to, and hes a very sweet rabbit bit of a softie, it just means that your rabbit loves you. i find he always does it after I’ve been fussing him and giving him loads of attention, his like his way of saying he loves you and its his way of giving affection back.
