It is grooming behavior for bonding, and a social behavior most common with the female rabbits (does). We had a female rabbit that would do this with me, but would bite my wife.
Our current rabbit is a male. He’s bonded w/ my wife and stretches out like a long sausage to let my wife give him full body rubs. He will not let me do that and head butts me to get me out of his space. If I don’t move, he’ll bite.
That’s a common misconception. Rabbits don’t need a salt-lick and will not touch them.
Rabbits do not like salty or bitter tastes as, in nature, those flavors are often associated w/ toxic plants. They especially like things that taste sweet to us though sugar is very bad for rabbits’ digestive health.
The licking is social grooming behavior most often done by female rabbits (does) to acknowledge the dominant male (buck) and establish familial bonds with other females.

Is that a mostly black broken Dutch rabbit? Neat!

Possibly, she was caught from the local feral population while pretty young so could be a cross of pretty much anything.

Bunnies can like two things.

If I had to choose between things and salt, I would prolly choose salt.
