What does it mean when a rabbit lightly bites you?

My rabbit was rubbing up against me and stuff before she lightly bit my knee. It barely hurt, but I want to know what it means. In all of the rabbit books I have read they say nothing about it. Despite that, my family and I think it was a love bite. Is that true? Please help me understand.What does it mean when a rabbit lightly bites you?
Mine does that too, sometimes after I groom her, she's just ';grooming'; you back, showing she loves you, you should be flattered - it's definitely a positive thing.What does it mean when a rabbit lightly bites you?
A rabbit rubbing up against you means that it's marking you as it's territory. My rabbit does this to me all the time, and will occasionally nibble lightly afterwards.





I'm not sure what a vet or animal specialist would say, but in my experience this nibbling is a way of showing that you belong to it. :)
