because you're so sweet, or maybe you are salty if you live near the ocean

Not being a rabbit, I can't say for sure, but I'd guess that it's either the salt on your skin, or it's a grooming thing--like cats, dogs, etc.--do, It may be sheer affection. Just enjoy the love...

she just loves you the best.
the salt is probably not a factor(assuming you're using pellets for feed)

salty skin tastes good....either that or she's a vampire wannabe
