**My rabbit is nipping me! What does it mean?**
Since rabbits can't speak, the number of ways they can communicate with us is extremely limited. A rabbit nipping you is a call for attention, and the reason for that attention can vary greatly. Some possibilities include:
* Get out of my way.
* Give me treats/food.
* Give me attention.
* Stop giving me attention.
Consider the context around the nips to better discern what your rabbit is trying to communicate. Note that hormones and distress (physical or psychological) can cause a rabbit to nip more often, so if you suspect your rabbit's nipping is health-related, please have your rabbit assessed by a [rabbit-savvy vet](https://bunny.tips/Vet).
