Hans has short ears. He can never pull them far enough to reach his mouth no matter how hard he tries!
Just when it looks as though the tip of his ear is close enough to be groomed, the little ear snaps back up again.
Hee hee.. it must be frustrating to have an itch he can’t reach!
When I catch Hans trying hard to groom his ears, I help him out by rubbing the tip of each ear for him. He gets really cute when I do that! He’ll lick the air in sync with my rubbing his ears, as though he is licking his ears himself.. looking very intense and contented all at once 😀
Poor Hans! Your ears look byootiful!
Love,
Lola & AppleJack
That’s so nice that you help Hans with his grooming! It would be tough for a rabbit to not be able to lick his ears!
How cute that he can’t reach and needs help!
Grooming session with a help from his human mom! So cute!!
he didnt use his two back leg to do it? hehe
Hans should go ask Button or Yohji to help him hehe
Hmm.. the hind legs only reach the back of their ears, when sometimes it’s the tip of the ears which are begging to be groomed, lol!
B & Y would rip his ears off! :p They’re still not very friendly towards him.
How cute!! I wonder if short-eared bunnies were mutations because they look cuter than the long, floppy-eared bunnies.
oh how sweet, and nice that you can join in and help him.
at times when you see them clean / groom their ear…
you notice as though side way they look like a lady combing their long hair..
i always have that impression when i see my Bit Bit does that….his ear also very short like Hans…
not everyone born like Yohji right – so long but that makes him cuteeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha
I’ve only seen Hef try to groom his short ears once or twice, I think he gave up after a while…
So nice of you to help him. What a cutie that Hans is ! ! ! !
One of my kitties does the air licking thing when we scratch him just right. It’s so funny to see. Hans looks like he takes great care with his personl grooming. Very handsome.
I’m going to unleash a powerful weapon here, I jazzed up my photo with Picnik. It’s free at http://www.picnik.com. I’ve been having lots of fun with it.
The cuteness is overwhelming!!!
haha! I do that with my dogs! I am DROWNING in cuteness!
Hey Hans, if I am there one day..I’ll help you scratch those fluffy ears or anywhere else you fancy too :)…and furrybutts, yep..you are going to be a slave to your bunnies for a looong time but a happy one I am sure hehehe..AND meanwhile, it just rain and rain and rain everyday, I am sure the bunnies are very cosy during these cooler days 🙂
That is one smart Hansy Bunn!!!
Hans, you’re not supposed to let your mom know you like it. Act aloof and she’ll try harder and do an even BETTER job. And don’t forget to demand craisins or nana when she’s done!
Hans is so cute! Top marks for human grooming of ears, we used to do “scratchy” to BillieBun’s right ear…she was missing her right hind leg and there was no way she could scratch her right ear or clean it. We did the job and she licked our hand afterwards for ages 🙂
i absolutely LOVE watching buns groom their ears – it’s so adorabuhls!!! thank you for the pictures – made my day… i so misses my bunnies
So cute! You’re the official ear-itch-scratcher!
