She loves to be rubbed but wants me to earn the privilege before she fully submits to my touch.
There is a game with her every night. First, I have to bribe her with a treat such as a strawberry or some craisins. Second, I rub her head but she pushes my hand away in mock protest. If I back away, she jumps in my lap as if asking, "what's wrong?"
Next, she squats down for a head rub, pushing her head into my hand with such force, I'm afraid she will hurt herself. Finally, after a few minutes of rubbing, she does a big flop on her side, closes her eyes, and exposes her neck and jaw for a good massage. This time is complete with bunny purrs, those the teeth grinding sounds of pleasure that very happy bunnies make.
It's a game with her. It's every night; the same routine.
